Ingredients
Meatloaf
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tablespoon spicy brown mustard
- ½ cup bbq sauce
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- salt and pepper, to taste
Topping
- ¼ cup bbq sauce
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, oatmeal, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, MMQ sauce, honey, and salt and pepper (I found that it's easiest to use my hands to mix it all together. When completely combined, mold meat into large mound and place into loaf pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, whisk topping ingredients together and spread half of topping on meatloaf. Reserve the other half for serving
- Bake at 350℉ for 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes, then slice into serving sizes and drizzle sauce on top
Notes
- We’ve found that the easiest way to mix the meatloaf meat well, to make sure the seasoning is completely distributed, is to do it by hand. Only mix until combined to avoid over-mixing and having a tough loaf of meatloaf.
- Add a little Parmesan cheese to the mix for even more flavor.
- The secret ingredient to keeping this meatloaf moist is using honey in the recipe, plus it adds delicious flavor.
- We like to use oats in the recipe to keep this recipe gluten-free; however, you can also use fresh bread crumbs or panko crumbs in place of the oats.
- When making beef meatloaf, you will want to use an instant read thermometer to check that the meat mixture has cooked to at least 160℉.
