2. In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, onion, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Combine the ground beef and seasoning with an egg, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix with your hands, keeping the mixture fairly loose.
4. Divide the meat into four equal sections. Form each section into a small loaf, placing each on one side of your prepared baking sheet.
5. Top each meatloaf with a bit of BBQ sauce.
6. Mix the mustard and olive oil in a medium-sized bowl.
7. Add the salt and the chunks of potatoes.
8. Spread the potatoes on the other side of the baking sheet.
9. Put the meatloves and potatoes in the oven and cook for ten minutes.
10. Mix the broccoli, olive oil, and salt in a bowl during that time.
11. After ten minutes, take the sheet pan from the oven and push the potatoes to the side.
12. Put the broccoli in this place.
13. Return the pan to the oven and cook for another 20 minutes. The meatloaves must reach 160°. The potatoes should be golden brown and done, and the broccoli should be slightly brown on the extreme edges.
