Sheet Pan Meatloaf and Potatoes Dinner

There’s something about a sheet pan meatloaf and potatoes dinner made with homemade meatloaf that just feels like home. This recipe keeps the comfort but cuts the cleanup. Everything cooks on one pan, so you’re not stuck at the sink after dinner.

The meatloaf gets a sweet ketchup glaze and a little head start in the oven, which means the potatoes come out golden and crispy instead of sitting in grease the whole time. For more ways to enjoy this classic, try my BBQ meatloaf, Instant Pot meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and mozzarella stuffed meatloaf.

• Ground meat: I used lean ground beef (usually 80%–90% lean) for flavor and juiciness, but ground turkey or a combination of beef and pork works well, too.
• Breadcrumbs and eggs: Panko breadcrumbs and whisked eggs help bind everything together while keeping the texture tender, not dense or dry.
• Seasonings: Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, and onion powder add depth. You can swap in fresh onion and garlic, just sauté first for the best flavor.
• Meatloaf sauce: A simple mix of ketchup (or BBQ sauce) and brown sugar caramelizes in the oven to create that classic sticky-sweet topping.
• Yukon gold potatoes: Their buttery texture and golden edges hold up beautifully in the oven, just toss with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Shape the mixture into a loaf directly on a foil-lined baking sheet. Spread the ketchup glaze evenly over the top, then sprinkle with black pepper if you like.

Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes on its own to get a head start before adding the potatoes.

Return pan to the oven and bake for another 40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing, and don’t forget to sprinkle the potatoes with extra salt and parsley just before serving.

Recipe Tips

• Any ground meat works here. Lean ground beef is our go-to, but turkey meatloaf is a great swap if you want something lighter.
• If you prefer a little heat, add in a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat.
• Swap the potatoes for any oven roasted vegetables. Broccoli, green beans, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and sweet potatoes all work great. Just spread them in a single layer and don’t crowd the pan or they’ll steam instead of roast.
• Want to skip the full loaf? Divide the mixture into smaller portions for mini sheet pan meatloaves, similar to muffin tin meatloaves. They will cook faster.
