If loving meatloaf is wrong, then I do not want to be right! Growing up, I was not too fond of meatloaf – the name itself is pretty un-appetizing. I am not sure when my taste changed, but it has been one of my favourite meals for years. It is easy to make, even better the next day, and pretty versatile. A couple of years ago, I saw a recipe online for BBQ Meatloaf, which piqued my interest. Like most recipes, I made a few changes, and this dish has become a regular in my meal lineup.
My husband typically does not share my love of meatloaf, so I generally make a small pan using 1 pound of beef. Still, this recipe easily doubles for larger families or extra leftovers. However, the last time I made this BBQ Meatloaf Recipe, my heart fluttered when Matt not only had some for dinner but went back for seconds!
