Ingredients

For the Meatloaf:
2 lbs (900g) ground beef (85/15)

Step-by-Step Instructions (Savory, Crispy, Foolproof)

1. Prep & Preheat
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment.
2. Make the Meatloaf Mixture
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, oats, ½ cup tomato sauce, egg, onion, salt, and pepper.
Mix gently with hands or fork—just until combined.
3. Shape & Add Veggies (Optional but Recommended)
Form mixture into a 9×5-inch loaf in the center of the pan.
Surround with chopped potatoes, carrots, or green beans if desired.
Brush top with remaining ½ cup tomato sauce.
4. Bake to Perfection
Bake 30–35 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Optional: Broil 2–3 minutes for extra glaze.
5. Rest & Serve
Let rest 5 minutes before slicing—keeps juices inside.
