Best Sheet Pan Glazed Meat Loaf Recipes

SHEET PAN GLAZED MEATLOAF WITH HEAPING CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F. Dice the potatoes, apple (peeled), and carrots, and spread them onto a baking sheet. Toss with 1/4c olive oil, thyme, 2tsp salt, and several cracks of black pepper. Place on the middle rack in your oven and set a timer for 20 minutes. When the timer goes off, remove vegetables from oven, toss them, and create an oblong space in the center of the pan where the meatloaf will be palced.
• While vegetables are getting a head start on their roasting, make your meatloaf mixture. Heat a small skillet with about 1Tb olive oil and sauté the diced onion and garlic with a pinch of salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Once soft and starting to brown, deglaze the pan with 1 tsp soy sauce. Once the liquid evaporates, which will happen quickly, remove pan from heat to cool.
• In the large bowl add the ground meat, 2 egg, 1/8c ketchup, 1/8c milk, 1/8c breadcrumbs, 1/4c parmesan, cooled onion/garlic mixture, 1.5 tsp salt (three 3-finger pinches), and 5 cracks of black pepper. Use your clean hands to combine. Form meatloaf into an oblong or rectangular shape and place it in the center of the baking sheet containing the partially-roasted vegetables.
• Make your glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the other 1/4 c ketchup, 2 tsp soy sauce, 2 tsp maple syrup, 1 tsp Worcestershire, and a small pinch of cayenne pepper. Pour the sauce all over the meatloaf. Place meatloaf in the oven for 30-40 minutes. You can take its temperature at the end with an instant read thermometer to make sure it's cooked. Meatloaf should reach an internal temperature of at least 150F. Let it rest for 4 minutes before slicing.
• While meatloaf is cooking, make the caramelized onions. Slice the 2 sweet onions. In a large skillet over a medium-high flame, heat about 1TB olive oil and place onions in the pan with 2 big pinches of salt, about a teaspoon. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become dark caramel in color. If they start to blacken, lower the heat to medium, and continue to cook, stirring more frequently.
• Place 2 slices of meatloaf on each plate, surround them with roasted vegetables, and top with a heaping pile of onions.

Bake on center rack in preheated oven until cooked through and a thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 160°F, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven, and turn oven to broil. Broil on top rack until glaze becomes caramelized, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven, and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
