Ingredients

• Meatloaf:
• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 3 dashes liquid smoke (optional)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon table salt (or to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 dash cayenne pepper
• BBQ Sauce:
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons worchestershire sauce
• 1 dash cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In large bowl, gently crumble ground beef then add all remaining meatloaf ingredients.

Using your fingers gently combine all ingredients and meat being careful not to overly squish or press the meat (this makes the meatloaf dense)

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.
