MINI MEAT LOAF SHEET-PAN MEAL
I grew up with this meat loaf recipe, but I adapted it to mini meatloaves so that it would bake more quickly. The sauce topping is always a hit. I added the potatoes and asparagus to make the meal easier. -Deanne Johnson, Reading, Pennsylvania

Steps:
- For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a half-sheet pan with cooking spray and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs, which will absorb the juices during cooking.
- Pour the milk over the bread in a bowl and allow it to soak up the milk. Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, seasoned salt, parsley and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the eggs. With clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined.
- Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared sheet pan, spreading all the way to the edges and corners.
- Next, make the glaze: Whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl until well combined. Brush the mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Sprinkle with the bacon.
- Bake until the meat is cooked through and slightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, then cut into squares and serve with the mashed potatoes. Garnish with the chopped parsley.
MINI SHEET PAN MEAT LOAF
Steps:
- Gather all ingredients before starting recipe.
- Pre heat oven to 375°
- Soak bread under running water, squeezing the water out of the bread. When the bread has been soaked and the water squeezed out, add to a mixing bowl.
- Combine remaining meat loaf ingredients in the same medium mixing bowl. Using your hands, combine all of the ingredients to make sure that they are evenly distributed and well blended.
- Spread the meat loaf mixture on the mini sheet pan, leveling it so that it has the same thickness throughout.
- Top the meatloaf with my prepared BBQ Sauce for Ribs, or another prepared BBQ sauce.
- Bake in a pre heated oven for 45 minutes, or until the meat loaf is bubbling and the topping has nicely browned.
- Serve with Homemade Mash Potatoes and canned peas.
Tips:
- Use a variety of ground meats: Try using a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal for a richer flavor. You can also use ground turkey or chicken for a healthier option.
- Add vegetables to the meatloaf mixture: This will help to add moisture and flavor. Try adding finely diced carrots, celery, onions, or zucchini.
- Use a flavorful glaze: This will help to give the meatloaf a nice crust and extra flavor. Try using a glaze made with ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, or BBQ sauce.
- Don't overcook the meatloaf: The internal temperature should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf and prevent it from falling apart.
