Sheet Pan Meatloaf

 

This meatloaf is very tasty and easy to make. The original recipe is from Ree Drummond.  What I love about it is that every slice is covered in sauce and the sauce is nicely caramelized. I like to serve with homemade macaroni and cheese and a salad. This also makes great sandwiches. 

Ingredients


Meatloaf:


1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs

1 cup milk

6 slices white sandwich bread

3 pounds ground beef

1 cup grated Parmesan

1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt

1/2 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

Freshly ground black pepper

4 large eggs, beaten

 
Glaze:

1 cup ketchup

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

6 slices regular bacon, cooked crisp, cooled and chopped



Directions


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.
