Why you'll love this recipe

What's better than meatloaf and potatoes, you ask? Meatloaf and potatoes in one pan.

This isn’t your average bland, boring, and soggy meatloaf. There is no milk, no ketchup, and no breadcrumbs. It also doesn't have a weird, crusty ketchup glaze (lol what is that). This is a next-level meatloaf packed full of ground beef, ground sausage, and salsa (as well as a few other ingredients). Combine that with tender buttery, roasted potatoes and you have the best meatloaf ever.

I'd be lying if I said this was a quick dinner, but it is easy and you only need one pan to make it!. Make your loaf, bake it, add your potatoes, bake it, flip the potatoes, and it's basically done! This recipe also makes delicious leftovers. My husband and I frequently take this dinner to work.

Ingredients

The ingredients for this recipe are simple and super easy to find! Here's what you'll need:

  • Ground hamburger meat
  • Sausage
  • Potatoes
  • Dry onion soup mix
  • Saltine crackers
  • Salsa
  • Egg
  • Garlic powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Butter
These are the ingredients needed to make one pan meatloaf and potatoes: potatoes, beef, sausage, seasonings, salsa, egg, onion soup mix.

Step-by-step instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the potatoes and butter.

A pair of gloved hands work best for combining the meat. Make sure that the meat and ingredients are thoroughly squished together.

Form the loaf

After squishing the meat, form it into a loaf in a 16-inch roasting pan. Make sure you leave plenty of room on the sides for the potatoes!

Next, add 1 ½ cups of water to the pan. This will help steam the meatloaf, as well as the potatoes, and keep the meat juicy and moist. It also keeps everything from burning to the bottom of the pan (did that once) so please do not skip this step!

Cover the pan with foil and bake for 1 ½ hours.

Add the potatoes

When the timer is close to being up, scrub the potatoes and remove any bad spots.

Add the potatoes to the pan and cover with butter and add additional salt and pepper. If the water evaporates or is really low, add more. Recover with foil and bake for 1 hour.

Flip the potatoes, add salt and pepper, and bake uncovered for 20 minutes.

Additionally, you can blend (or keep it chunky!) the remaining salsa and pour it over the finished meatloaf.

Tips & tricks

Use different potatoes. Gold, red, or russet potatoes can be used. We love these roasted gold potatoes because they are soft and velvety and have a rich, buttery taste. Yum!

Complete the dish with salsa. Pour the remaining salsa over the finished meatloaf for an extra flavorful dinner!

Recommended tools

There aren't many tools I can recommend for this recipe because all you need is one pan!

  • Roasting Pan. Easily fit your loaf and potatoes in this sizeable roasting pan. It's also great for turkeys!

Storing and reheating

Refrigerator: Transfer meatloaf and potatoes into an airtight container and store for up to 5 days. I leave everything in the roasting pan and cover it with foil for 4 to 5 days.

Reheat: Portion what you want to eat and microwave until it's hot.
