Total time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Ingredients
  • 1 and 1/2 pounds ground beef (93% or leaner)
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce, divided
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 2 pound red potatoes, cubed (3/4 inch)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Reserve 1/4 cup of tomato sauce; set aside.
  2. Combine ground beef, remaining tomato sauce, bread crumbs, onion, egg, Worcestershire, thyme, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in large bowl; mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape beef mixture into 8 x 4 x 2-inch loaf on parchment-lined sheet pan.
  3. Toss potatoes with cooking spray, garlic salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread potatoes evenly around the meatloaf on the sheet pan.

Spread sauce evenly over top of meatloaf, stir potatoes and continue cooking another 20 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meatloaf registers 160°F.
  5. Remove meatloaf; let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Test potatoes for doneness and return to oven if needed while meatloaf rests. Cut meatloaf into slices. Serve with potatoes.
