Why You Should Make Meatloaf On A Sheet Pan
By Riya Anne Polcastro
While a traditional loaf pan is usually the preferred choice when cooking meatloaf, a sheet pan is better to make the best meatloaf possible.
A sheet pan is easier to clean, and the meatloaf will hold its shape just fine with the correct ratio of ingredients. Just make sure it's firm enough when it goes into the oven.
While it's still possible to form a loaf shape, you can also spread it out to adjust its thickness, which will also speed up the cooking time.
Depending on how far you spread the loaf out, you can easily prepare simple sheet pan meals for weeknight dinners by leaving enough room for vegetables.
The vegetables will soak up the juices that cook off the meat, saving on oil and adding a savory flavor to everything on the pan.
