Ingredients for Bbq Meat Loaves With Cheddar Potatoes

  • Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 large egg
  • Dried Breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Barbecue Sauce
  • Mashed Potatoes
  • 1 cup milk
  • Cheddar Cheese

How to Make Bbq Meat Loaves With Cheddar Potatoes

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Line a broiling pan with foil, extending the foil over the edges.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup BBQ sauce. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Shape the meat mixture into four 4-inch-long oval loaves on the foil-lined rack.
  5. Place the rack in the broiler, about 4 inches from the heat source.
  6. Broil for 12 minutes, then turn the meatloaves once.
  7. Spoon the remaining BBQ sauce over the meatloaves.
  8. Broil for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is set and slightly bubbly.
  9. Meanwhile, in a 2-quart saucepan, combine 2 cups cubed potatoes and 1 cup milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and heated through (about 8-10 minutes).
  10. Remove from heat and gently stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
  11. Serve the BBQ meatloaves immediately with the creamy cheddar potatoes.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
