Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 1/2 lbs. baby red potatoes, cut into small 1-inch pieces
- 1 lb. green beans, ends trimmed
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt (for veggies)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (for veggies)
Meatloaf
- 1 lb. 93% lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 Tablespoons ketchup (for meat mixture)
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley leaves
- 3/4 teaspoon salt (for meatloaf)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (for meatloaf)
- 4 Tablespoons ketchup (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy clean-up.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Add the cut baby red potatoes and trimmed green beans onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper over the veggies. Toss them well so that all pieces are evenly coated with oil and seasoning. Push the veggies to cover approximately two-thirds of the baking sheet.
- Mix the Meatloaf Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, dried breadcrumbs, diced onion, milk, beaten egg, 2 tablespoons ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, 3/4 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Use your hands to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until fully combined.
- Form Mini Meatloaves: Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions. Place each portion on the empty one-third side of the baking sheet and shape them into mini loaves, spacing each by at least 1 inch.
- Top Meatloaves with Ketchup: Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup over the top of each mini meatloaf to add flavor and help keep them moist during baking.
- Bake the Meal: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the meatloaves reach an internal temperature of 160°F, ensuring they are cooked through and safe to eat.
Notes
- Check the internal temperature of meatloaf with a meat thermometer to avoid undercooking.
- You can substitute ground turkey for beef for a leaner version.
- Feel free to switch green beans with asparagus or broccoli for variety.
- Make sure to cut potatoes into uniform 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
