Barbecue Meatloaf

Barbecue Meatloaf

This recipe has been a favorite of ours through the years.  Usually eaten alongside mashed potatoes and green bean casserole.  Various BBQ sauce flavors can be substituted in the recipe to find a taste that pleases you.  We have found that "Honey Mustard BBQ sauce" has the most vivacious flavor and is pleasing to the palette. 

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 cup bottled BBQ sauce (divided)

1/2 cup oats, uncooked

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

2 eggs, beaten

Crumble beef into a mixing bowl.  Add 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce.  Reserve remaining sauce.  Add oats, onion, and eggs.  Mix well, Shape into a loaf and into 12 X 8 inch glass dish.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes and add remaining BBQ sauce on top and cook for additional 15 minutes.  Total cook time is 45 minutes. 

Suggestion:  This batch goes fast so you might want to double the recipe, like I do, and then you MIGHT have SOME leftovers.
