BBQ Meatloaf
This scrumptious meatloaf is filled with cheddar cheese in the middle and topped with KC Masterpiece Barbecue sauce or Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce on top. It's so mouthwatering. You can even use your own Homemade Bread Crumbs or gluten free bread crumbs, if desired.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. ground beef 93% or 96% lean is the best
- 1 cup Italian bread crumbs or Homemade Bread Crumbs
- 3 large eggs
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 cup bbq sauce KC Masterpiece original or Sweet Baby Ray's are great
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Mix beef, crumbs, eggs and onion.
- Spray baking dish.
- Place half of the meat mixture on bottom of dish and shape into oval.
- Sprinkle cheese on top of meat and press down (try to leave a 1-inch border).
- Place remaining meat on top and seal edges well so cheese doesn’t leak out while cooking.
- Bake 1 hour at 325° or 350°.
- Drain any grease.
- Spread barbecue sauce over top of meat and bake 5 minutes longer to heat sauce.
Notes
NOTE: When I halve this recipe, I use 2 eggs.
NOTE: I also occasionally add a 1/2 cup of milk over top of the bread crumbs when mixing all the ingredients together with my hands to soften the texture a little and enable the ingredients to mix more easily.
NOTE: Homemade bread crumbs are made without preservatives and HFCS.
NOTE: 4C brand has come out with gluten free bread crumbs. I purchase them at Walmart.
