5-Ingredient Sheet Pan Meatloaf

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Meatloaf

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, and onion soup mix.
2. Use your hands or a spoon to mix until well combined, but don’t overwork the meat, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 3: Shape & Bake

1. Place the meat mixture on the prepared sheet pan and shape it into a flat rectangular loaf, about 1-2 inches thick.
2. Spread a thin layer of ketchup on top for a sweet and tangy glaze.
3. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 4: Rest & Serve

1. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
2. Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete meal!

Tips for Success

🔹 Use Lean Ground Beef – 85/15 is ideal for a juicy but not greasy meatloaf.
🔹 Try Parchment Paper – This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
🔹 Make Mini Loaves – Shape into smaller portions for quicker cooking.
