How to Make Barbecued Beef Loaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a food processor, combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 packet onion soup mix. Pulse until just combined.
  3. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  4. Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared pan and press lightly to compact.
  5. Bake for 60 minutes. Carefully remove the loaf pan from the oven and drain any excess grease from the pan.
  6. While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the barbecue sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Double this sauce for extra flavor.
  7. Spoon the barbecue sauce generously over the partially baked meatloaf.
  8. Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  9. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
