Simple BBQ Meatloaf
A simple BBQ meatloaf recipe that’s topped with a savory BBQ sauce to give you a combination of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors. It uses a traditional meatloaf recipe with a tangy barbecue sauce slathered on top.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup milk
- ½ cup barbecue sauce, divided
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. You can also use a deep lined sheet pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, milk, ¼ cup barbecue sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. You can also use a casserole dish. If using a fattier meat, I always use a casserole dish so that the grease doesn’t soak into the meat too much. You can always drain the grease halfway through cooking time if you find that a lot of grease has collected.
- Spread the remaining ¼ cup barbecue sauce evenly over the top.
- Bake for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
