Ingredients for Bbq Meatloaf

  • Ground Round
  • Barbecue Sauce
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Bbq Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork), 1/2 cup your favorite BBQ sauce, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Mix thoroughly but avoid overmixing.
  4. Shape the meat mixture into a 7 x 5 inch loaf on a wire rack placed inside a roasting pan. This allows for even cooking and prevents a soggy bottom.
  5. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup BBQ sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
