Best Ever Meat Loaf

Recipes »  Main Dish  » 

A clone of Boston Market's meat loaf

"Rich, moist meat loaf made with savory seasonings and covered with zesty hickory barbecue sauce" America' Most Wanted Recipes. This meat loaf is perfect for people who don't like onions and peppers in their meat loaf-like me! It however is the most delicious meat loaf ever!!!

"The flavor was very good and a nice switch up from the traditional meatloaf. For me, my meatloaf in a glass loaf pan got too hardened on the bottom and the end pieces were a bit dark - not burned. Next time I make this, and I will make it again, the last 30 minutes I will lower to 375. " - Jenibop

Servings          
Original recipe makes 5 Servings
1/2 cupketchup
1 1/2 tablespoonshickory barbecue sauce
1 tablespoonsugar
1 1/2 lbsground beef
1/3 cupall purpose flour
3/4 teaspoonsalt
1/2 teaspoononion powder
1/4 teaspoonpepper
2 clovesgarlic
3/4 cupitalian bread crumbs
1 egg

Best Ever Meat Loaf Preparation

1, Preheat the oven to 400 F

2. In a large bowl, stir together the ketchup, bbq sauce and the sugar; set aside 1/4 cup of the mixture.

3. With your hands, mix in the remaining ingredients.

4. Form the mixture into a loaf and placed into a greased 9 by 5 inch loaf pan. (If you don't have a loaf pan, that's ok - I use a rectangular pan and that works fine)

5. Bake, COVERED, for 30 mins.

6. Uncover and drain the fat from the pan, then slice the meat loaf while still in the pan.

7. Drizzle the reserved tomato sauce mixture evenly over the meat loaf. (The reserved amount of sauce is not enough for us-I make more sauce while meatloaf is cooking so that every slice has sauce on the top and so that the sauce runs down into between the slices).

8. Bake, UNCOVERED, for an additional 30 mins or until cooked thoroughly.

    It had good flavor but it turned out as 'meat soup' in my husband's words. I even used more meat to offset some of the sauce

    This was a great meatloaf. I did exactly as the instructions said and cut into slices half way through cooking time. Came out great! Will definitely prepare again! Thanks!

    It turned out mushy.

    I used whole wheat flour and added 1/2 tp of Italian seasoning to regular bread crumbs. It seemed kind of bland to me. Baked it at 375 degrees for 70 minutes.

    This was so delicious and easy to make! I covered the sauce with a layer of precooked bacon for the last 30 minutes. My family loved it and wants me to make it every week! Thank you for this recipe! :-)
