Sometimes preparing dinner during the week can be a hassle. With homework, after school activities and the running around that comes along with it, I am often exhausted when it’s time to make dinner. One of my New Year’s resolutions this year was to be better prepared and organized every day. For me, this means scheduling household cleaning, grocery shopping, and meals without feeling completely wiped out at the end of the day. If you are looking for some great printable meal and grocery planners you can find them here at Money Saving Mom. These free planners are very helpful and you can choose from a few different styles to fit your needs. In fact, these have really helped me stay on top of things in my kitchen.

As most of you know, unfortunately some days just don’t go as planned. You can be very organized and ready for the day when one of your children suddenly becomes ill, or your toddler decides to create a huge mural on your wall with marker and you have to spend half the day scrubbing and cleaning up with a Magic Eraser. Those are the days when all of your plans can go right out the window.

On days like those, One Pot or One Pan Meals are a blessing. If you have a few great, homemade One Pot or One Pan meals on hand, you can still quickly prepare dinner, place it in the oven and sit down with your family to eat without feeling like a complete mess. This One Pan Meatloaf and Roasted Potatoes & Carrots is a simple, comforting family meal that can be on the table in an hour. This moist and flavorful, old fashioned style meatloaf cooks right in the pan with seasoned golden potatoes and fresh carrots for cozy, satisfying meal that can be served along with a salad or steamed green beans. Sometimes the simple meals are the one’s that my family tends to enjoy the most.

If you happen to have any left over meatloaf, you can even make a tasty meatloaf sandwich for lunch the next day. The next time you have a busy week or are left with little time to prepare dinner for your family, have this simple and delicious recipe on hand!

One Pan Meatloaf with Roasted Potatoes & Carrots

Ingredients

For The Meatloaf:
2 1/4 lbs. ground beef 85% lean (you want some fat in there)
3/4 cup old fashioned oats
2 sliced white bread
1 1/2 cups 2% milk
2 eggs
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large clove of garlic, minced
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 Tbsp. dried parsley
For The Vegetables:
2 1/2 lbs. small golden potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
4 large carrots, peeled and sliced into chunks to about the size of the potatoes
1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
salt
pepper
1 tsp. dried parsley

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Place the oatmeal and the bread in a small bowl, pour the milk over it and soak for 5 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
In a large bowl (or you can even use your Kitchen Aid Mixer), combine the meatloaf ingredients and mix well.
In a larger 15 x 10 (4 Qt.) Baking Dish, evenly shape the meatloaf, leaving 2 inches all around the sides of the loaf.
In a large bowl combine your potatoes and carrots, drizzle them with the olive oil, and season them with salt, pepper and parsley.
Give them a good stir and arrange them evenly around the meatloaf.
Loosely cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes or until the top of the meatloaf is lightly browned and a thermometer inserted into the loaf reads 160 degrees F.
Remove the pan from the oven, cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
Serve warm with fresh green beans or a salad.
Serves 6.

Sweet BBQ Meatloaf

Shannon — Tue, 28 May 2013 11:00:41 +0000

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! My family spent most of the weekend planting our vegetable garden and I am looking forward to working out in the garden a lot this summer. Spending most of the day outdoors gardening is wonderful, but at the end of the day I still like to have a nice, home cooked meal on the table for my family. This comforting, Sweet BBQ Meatloaf is simple to throw together and put in the oven while you are cleaning up for dinner. This recipe also makes enough meatloaf so that you can enjoy a yummy meatloaf sandwich the next day. If I know I am going to have a busy day and I have a little extra time in the morning, I will prepare the meatloaf, place it in the baking dish, cover it and place it in the refrigerator until it’s dinner time. I love it when the prep work is already done:) Serve this with a fresh salad and baked potato for a well rounded meal. What are some of your favorite, simple summer dinner recipes?
