Sheet Pan Mini Meatloaves

PREP TIME10 mins
COOK TIME25 mins
TOTAL TIME35 mins
SERVINGS4 servings
While the oven heats, place the leftover meatloaf in an oven-safe shallow baking dish. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water to the dish and cover the dish tightly with tin foil. The water provides extra moisture and will create steam in the oven, which will prevent the leftover meatloaf from drying out while it heats. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until meatloaf is heated through.

INGREDIENTS:

  • For the mini meatloaves
  • 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound 85% ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup barbeque sauce, store bought or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven and prepare a sheet pan:
Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, onion flakes, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper.

Make the meatloaf mixture:

Add the ground beef into a large mixing bowl and use a fork or your hands to break up the mixture slightly. Add the dried seasoning mixture to the bowl, along with the egg, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Use a fork or your hands—I always mix meatloaf by hand—to mix the beef mixture well but being sure to not overmix. The meat mixture should be loosely combined versus tightly compacted.

Shape the mini meatloaves:
Shape the meatloaf mixture into a circle. Use your hand to score the meat mixture into four quarters and shape each quarter into a miniature loaf shape. Place the mini meatloaves on one side of the parchment lined baking sheet.
