How to Make This One-Pan Dinner Step-by-Step
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
Toss halved potatoes in olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on one side of a large sheet pan. Roast at 400°F for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Mix & Shape the Meatloaves
In a bowl, combine ground meat, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire, ketchup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 4–5 mini loaves.
Step 3: Add Meatloaves to the Pan
Push the potatoes to one-third of the pan. Add meatloaves beside them. Spoon ketchup over each loaf. Return to the oven for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Add the Green Beans
Toss green beans with oil, salt, and pepper. Add them to the last third of the pan. Roast everything for another 15–18 minutes, until the meatloaves are 160°F internal and the potatoes are tender.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Let rest for 5 minutes, then dig in. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon zest if desired.
