❤️ Why You’ll Love This Sheet Pan Dinner

• Easy Clean-Up: This Sheet Pan Dinner requires minimal clean-up because it’s all made on a sheet pan. I love dishes like this for busy weeknights or when you’re hosting and don’t want to spend all night doing the dishes.

• Versatile: Like any sheet pan meal, you can make this dinner your own by adding in your fav veggies, swapping the ground beef for another ground meat alternative, or serving it with different side dishes.

🍲 Ingredients

Baby Potatoes – For this recipe, use baby potatoes. Baby potatoes are an ideal choice for baking due to their size and shape. Their small surface area allows them to cook quickly with a crispy skin, while their interior stays tender and fluffy.

Meatballs – This recipe uses ground beef to make the perfect juicy meatballs. You can totally use this recipe as a base and swap this for juicy chicken thighs, or your choice of meatballs, such as lamb meatballs, pork, or even turkey or chicken. Just adjust the cooking time as required.

👩‍🍳 How to Make a Greek Sheet Pan Dinner

1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
2. Make the meatballs: Mix together Better Than Bouillon Beef Base, ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, pepper, egg, chopped mint and breadcrumbs. Once combined, form into meatballs using about 1 heaping tablespoon per meatball and set aside on a plate.
3. Make the whipped feta by adding the crumbled feta, greek yogurt, zest of one lemon, olive oil and salt to a food processor and whip on high speed until combined and creamy. Set aside in the fridge.
4. Make the lemon garlic sauce for the potatoes: Whisk together Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder and pepper. Set aside.
5. To a large sheet pan add halved baby potatoes. Drizzle with three-quarters of the lemon garlic sauce (save a quarter of the sauce for later), toss and then roast cut-side down for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, add the prepared meatballs to the sheet pan.
6. Place back in the oven for 15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and the potatoes are golden brown.
7. To serve: layer the whipped feta on the bottom of a platter and top with the roasted potatoes and meatballs. Drizzle the rest of the lemon garlic sauce over top of everything.
8. Top with finely chopped parsley or mint, a pinch of dried oregano, a squeeze of lemon juice and an extra pinch of salt and pepper. Sprinkle over 1/2 cup halved baby tomatoes if desired.

🪄 Tips and Tricks

• Choose the Right Potato: Baby potatoes are ideal because their small size matches the cooking time of meatballs. You can use larger potatoes, but be sure to cut them into uniform, bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
• Don’t Overwork the Meat: Mix the meat with your seasonings and binders gently. Overworking the meat can make the meatballs dense and tough.
• Single Layer is a Must: Arrange your meatballs and potatoes in a single, uncrowded layer on the sheet pan. If they are piled up or touching, they will steam instead of roast.
