Roasting the potatoes alongside the meat allows the meatloaf\u2019s juices to season the veggies, while the high oven heat creates perfectly crispy edges. The secret is the \u201cpanade\u201d (milk and breadcrumb soak), which keeps the beef moist and tender even at high roasting temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meatloaf<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 \u00bd lbs ground beef (80\u201385% lean)1 cup plain breadcrumbs\u00bd cup milk1 large egg\u00bd cup finely chopped onion2 garlic cloves, minced2 tbsp ketchup (for the mix)1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce1 tsp Italian seasoning1 tsp salt\u00bd tsp black pepper<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glaze<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00bc cup ketchup1 tbsp brown sugar1 tsp mustard (yellow or Dijon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potatoes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 \u00bd\u20132 lbs potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks2 tbsp olive oil1 tsp garlic powder1 tsp dried thyme or rosemarySalt and black pepper, to tasteDirections<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1: Prep and Soak<br>Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F and line a large sheet pan with foil or parchment. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and milk. Let sit 3\u20135 minutes to form a paste that keeps the meatloaf moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2: Mix the Loaf<br>In a large bowl, combine the beef, soaked breadcrumb mixture, egg, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings. Mix gently until just combined\u2014overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3: Shape and Season Veggies<br>Form the meat into an 8\u20139 inch loaf in the center of the pan. Toss potato chunks with olive oil, garlic powder, herbs, salt, and pepper. Arrange the potatoes around the meatloaf in a single layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 4: First Bake<br>Whisk together the glaze ingredients and brush half over the meatloaf. Bake for 25 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 5: Final Glaze<br>Stir the potatoes for even browning and brush the remaining glaze on the meatloaf. Bake another 20\u201325 minutes, until the meatloaf reaches 160\u00b0F internally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 6: Rest and Serve<br>Let the meatloaf rest 5\u201310 minutes before slicing to keep the juices inside and the slices intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"526\" height=\"789\" src=\"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/623182052_122173591928762766_7855477491479401505_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/623182052_122173591928762766_7855477491479401505_n.jpg 526w, https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/623182052_122173591928762766_7855477491479401505_n-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simple Oven-Baked Meatloaf and Potatoes This Simple Oven-Baked Meatloaf and Potatoes is the ultimate sheet-pan solution for busy weeknights.
