Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in one large bowl using your hands.

• Wash hands very well.
• Brush additional barbecue sauce over the top. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Bake at 375 degrees for at 60 to 75 minutes. Cook the meatloaf on a lower rack to prevent the barbecue sauce on top from getting overcooked.

EASY MEATLOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
• Line a loaf pan with foil and lightly grease both pan and foil. Leave plenty of overlap to make it easier to remove the meatloaf after cooking.
• In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, ½-cup barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, but do not overmix or the meatloaf will be tough.
• Shape the beef mixture into a loaf in the prepared pan. Spread the remaining barbecue sauce over the top.
• Bake for 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature registers 165˚F. Let the meatloaf stand for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.
• Garnish with parsley and serve.
