What is more family than meatloaf. This dish has been around so long, and never gets old. I love meatloaf and so does my family. This method is so good and easy and it has wonderful flavor. The ground pork instead of beef is awesome and the expanding of the Bbq sauce and the cheese makes this dish a real winner.
This method was from an old friend of my Mothers. She was tired of production basic meatloaf with ground beef and decided to try to make it with ground pork. It was an instant hit. Once she added the cheese and the Bbq sauce, it became a family staple. What I enjoyed about this method the most is that I could get a taste of Bbq even if it was winter time. Smelling the pork bake in the oven with the smokey flavor of the Bbq sauce made me think of grilling on the outdoor patio. What a treat.
Meat Loaf
Here is the recipe:
2 lbs. Ground beef
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg
2 cups soft breadcrumbs (4 slices bread)
1 small onion, grated
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup Italian dressing
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
Mix ground beef with cheese, egg, onion, salt and pepper and bread crumbs. Form meat into a loaf. Bake in a 325F oven for 1 hour; pour off drippings. Make your Bbq sauce and pour over the meat, then sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake 30 minutes longer.
Let the Meatloaf rest for 15 minutes before slicing, this will keep the meat from breaking apart and loosing all of it's juices. This dish is great served with a side of peas and carrots. I also like to make some fresh mash potatoes to go along side. Make extra Bbq sauce and use for dipping, your family will thank you for it.
Eat Well
