Sheet Pan Southern Meatloaf
Description
The Sheet Pan Southern Meatloaf starts with blending ground beef seasoned with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. It incorporates a mixture of beaten eggs, milk, breadcrumbs, pressed garlic, fresh parsley, and grated onion which help keep the meatloaf tender. By spreading the mixture evenly across a sheet pan, the meat cooks uniformly with more surface area exposed, allowing the flavorful ketchup and Worcestershire sauce topping to caramelize nicely under the broiler.
The final meatloaf has a balanced texture with a slightly crisped, tangy top and moist interior. The oregano and garlic provide an herbal and savory foundation, while the parsley and onion contribute freshness and sweetness. This method reduces cooking time compared to a traditional loaf shape, while maintaining classic meatloaf flavors.
It can be sliced and served warm for a hearty family meal, pairing well with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or simple greens. The dish stores well for leftovers and reheats evenly thanks to its sheet pan shape.
