Barbecue Meatloaf Recipes

UPSIDE-DOWN BARBEQUE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix ground beef, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, celery salt, chipotle chile powder, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl with your hands.
• Stir breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce into meat mixture until thoroughly combined; form into a loaf shape.
• Spread barbeque sauce out into the bottom of a loaf pan; place meatloaf on top of barbeque sauce and press into pan.
• Bake meatloaf in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Drain the fat from the loaf pan and invert pan over a plate to transfer meatloaf. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

MEATLOAF MUFFINS WITH BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put ground beef into a big bowl. Put onion and celery into a food processor. Cut the bell pepper in half, rip out the seeds and throw them into your garbage bowl. Cut the pepper into a few pieces and add to the food processor. Pulse the processor blades to finely chop the vegetables into very small pieces then add them to the meat bowl. Add egg, beaten with milk, bread crumbs and grill seasoning to the bowl. Next, mix together the smoky barbecue sauce, the salsa and the Worcestershire sauce. Pour half the sauce mixture into the bowl with the meatloaf mix. Mix the meatloaf together with your hands. Wash up. Brush a 12-muffin tin (1/2-cup each) with vegetable oil or extra-virgin olive oil. Use an ice cream scoop to help you fill meat into a each tin. Top each meat loaf with a spoonful of extra sauce. Bake about 20 minutes. Cut open 1 muffin to test that the middle is cooked through. While meatloaf muffins bake, make green beans in the microwave. Serve meatloaf with Smashed Potatoes and Cream Cheese on the side, too.
• Place bacon between paper towels and microwave 60 seconds on high. Cool bacon and chop or crumble up.
• Place green beans in a bowl and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and microwave green beans on high for 5 minutes, stir and cook 5 minutes more. Remove wrap and top green beans with crumbled bacon.
• Boil potatoes until tender, 15 minutes. While the water boils and when the potatoes are cooking, you can be working on the meatloaf recipe.
• When the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the hot pot to let them dry out a bit. Mash potatoes with half-and-half or milk using a potato masher. Add in the cream cheese and smash until the cheese melts into the potatoes. Then add chives and scallions and season with salt and pepper, to your taste.

GRILLED BBQ MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and scrape the grates clean. Spray grates with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, tarragon, sea salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture in half, and form 2 loaves, each about 4 inches in diameter and 6 inches long. In a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce with ketchup until well combined.
• Place each meatloaf directly on the prepared grill grates, then spread each with about 3 tablespoons of barbecue sauce mixture; grill until the loaves reach an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees F (73 degrees C), about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

• Mix BBQ sauce ingredients together in a bowl.
• Pour 1/4 cup of sauce in the bottom of a bread pan, or enough to evenly coat the bottom.
• Add meatloaf to the bread pan and gently press into a solid loaf shape, pressing only hard enough for the meat to hold together.
• Pour remaining BBQ sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
• Place in the oven for 70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
• Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes and serve.

BBQ MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the bacon in a large saute pan and cook over medium heat until most of the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon to a large bowl. Increase the heat slightly (between medium and medium-high) and add the onions to the bacon fat in the pan and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook until tender, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Transfer to the bowl with the bacon. Stir in the chopped ribs and pulled pork. Cool completely.
• Add the beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, mustard powder, smoked paprika, basil, thyme, 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (depending on how salty the ribs and pulled pork are) and several heavy grinds of pepper. Use your hands to mix until well combined. Form into a 9-by-3 1/2-inch loaf that is about 2 inches tall on the prepared baking sheet. Spread 1/4 cup of the BBQ sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
• Bake for 30 minutes, and then spread the remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce on top of the partially cooked meatloaf. Continue to bake until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 45 more minutes.
• Serve with additional warm BBQ sauce alongside.
