Classic Meatloaf with Roasted Potatoes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven:
    Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the meatloaf:
    • In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic, milk, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme until just combined.
    • Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish or on a lined sheet pan.
  3. Make the glaze:
    • Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard.
    • Spread evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  4. Prepare the potatoes:
    • Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
    • Arrange around the meatloaf in the baking dish or on a separate baking sheet if needed.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake for 50–60 minutes until the meatloaf is cooked through (internal temperature 160°F / 71°C) and potatoes are golden and tender.
  6. Serve:
    Let the meatloaf rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve slices with the roasted potatoes on the side.

Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the meatloaf during the last 10 minutes of baking.

If you want, I can also give you a one-pan version where the meatloaf and potatoes cook together with minimal cleanup—it’s perfect for busy weeknights.

Do you want me to share that one-pan version?
