Sheet Pan Meatloaf Recipe

This sheet pan meatloaf is a weeknight hero — fast to prep, easy to clean up, and full of comfort food flavor. It bakes evenly, slices beautifully, and works with just about any side dish you love.
Prep Time: 10 minutes 
Cook Time: 1 hour 
Total Time: 1 hour  10minutes 

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce divided
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or parchment for lining

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment and spray lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, eggs, panko, onion, half the BBQ sauce, Worcestershire, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix gently until everything is combined.
  4. Shape into a rectangle on the sheet pan, about 1½ inches thick.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven, brush with remaining BBQ sauce, and return to bake for another 15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • To shape the loaf easily, press the meat mixture into a clean rectangular food tray (like the one your ground beef comes in), then flip it onto the sheet pan.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully in the microwave or oven — try them in a sandwich the next day!
  • You can double this recipe and freeze one loaf (uncooked or cooked) for a future meal.
