Sheet Pan BBQ Meatloaf Dinner

Iris Warren

Report

This recipe combines a BBQ-flavored meatloaf with roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli on a single sheet pan. The meatloaf uses ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, and BBQ sauce with spices such as smoked paprika and garlic powder for smoky, tangy notes. The vegetables roast alongside, coated with olive oil and seasoning, resulting in a complete dinner cooked together efficiently with minimal cleanup.

Description

The Sheet Pan BBQ Meatloaf Dinner features a compact oval-shaped meatloaf made from a blend of ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, and BBQ sauce, seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt to create a savory and subtly smoky flavor profile. While the meatloaf cooks, sweet potatoes and frozen broccoli florets are tossed separately in olive oil, seasoning salt, salt, and pepper, then roasted side by side on the baking sheet, allowing the vegetable edges to caramelize and develop a tender interior.

This one-pan approach simplifies meal preparation by roasting protein and vegetables together at 400ºF, saving time and minimizing dishes. The BBQ sauce in the meatloaf adds moisture and tang, complementing the natural sweetness of the roasted sweet potatoes and the earthy broccoli. The seasoning salt on the vegetables layers additional flavor, balancing the dish.

This meal is suitable for a straightforward dinner, offering a balance of protein, starch, and greens. Using a seasoning blend like Avec Tous or any preferred spice mix personalizes flavor. The dish showcases the efficiency of sheet pan cooking without sacrificing flavor or texture.

Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Peel the sweet potato and cut it into 1/2 to 3/4" cubes. Place the sweet potatoes and frozen broccoli florets (no need to thaw) on a large baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and broccoli florets. Sprinkle the seasoning salt over the sweet potatoes and then season the broccoli florets with a pinch of salt and pepper. Use your hands to toss the vegetables until they are coated in oil and spices, keeping the sweet potatoes on one side of the baking sheet and the broccoli on the other.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 15 minutes.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the meatloaves. In a medium bowl combine the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, 1 Tbsp of the BBQ sauce, the smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Work the ingredients together with your hands or a fork until they are well combined. Divide the meatloaf mixture in two and shape each half into a flattened oval.
After the vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet and stir each of the vegetables. Push each off to the side a bit to make room for the meatloaves. Place the shaped meatloaves in the center and then spread 1 Tbsp of BBQ sauce over each loaf.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves has reached 160ºF. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, plate up the meatloaves and vegetables, and serve immediately.

Notes

You can customize the seasoning salt with blends like Tony Chachere's or Lawry's to adjust flavor.
Keep vegetables separated on the sheet pan for even roasting and to maintain individual flavors.
Use frozen broccoli florets directly without thawing to retain texture during roasting.
Ensure meatloaf portions are evenly shaped for consistent cooking.
