Barbeque Meatloaf

I have many recipes that I love, but this meatloaf that Linsey shared with me a few years ago is really one of my go to dishes. I usually have all of the ingredients on hand, I can throw it together in no time, and everyone loves it! Barbeque meatloaf printable version.

I use very lean ground beef for this recipe – usually 93/7 – so that there is not too much grease in the dish after cooking.

To the meat, add 1 cup crushed saltine crackers.

Add 1 1/4 tsp salt.

About 1/2 tsp pepper.

Oops. Not that much!

1 egg

Chop one medium onion, and add it to the mixture. I used a large one for this loaf. We love onion, and Vidalias are in season!

Last, add 1/2 cup tomato sauce.

Messes allowed in this kitchen!

Mix well with hands. (I do this part, of course.)

Form into a loaf in a 3 quart casserole.

For the sauce, mix together 3/4 cup ketchup, 1 cup water, 2 tbsp packed brown sugar, 2 tbsp mustard, and 2 tbsp vinegar.

Wisk together until blended.

Pour over loaf, and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes at 325. Baste occasionally with sauce.

Slice, and serve sauce on top. Yum!
