How to Make Barbecued Onion Meat Loaves
- Preheat your microwave.
- In a large bowl, crack and whisk 1 large egg. Pour in 1/4 cup of milk and mix well.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of your favorite BBQ sauce, 1 cup of dry stuffing mix, and 1 packet (1 ounce) of dry onion soup mix. Mix until evenly combined.
- Add 1 pound of ground beef (or turkey) to the bowl and gently crumble it into the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly, being careful not to overmix.
- Shape the mixture into 5 equal-sized loaves. Arrange the meat loaves around the edges of a large, microwave-safe dish, leaving some space between each loaf.
- Microwave uncovered on high for 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) as measured by a meat thermometer. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage.
- Cover the dish and let the meat loaves stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful loaf.
- Drizzle the remaining BBQ sauce over the meat loaves before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
