Description
BBQ Meatloaf with Caramelized Onion is a delightful twist on a classic dish, featuring rich BBQ flavors and sweet caramelized onions for a moist and tender texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, plus extra for serving
- 1 cup caramelized onions (about 2 medium onions, cooked down)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Slice 2 medium onions and cook them in a skillet over medium heat until soft and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the cooled caramelized onions and mix until well combined.
- Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, shaping it into a rustic loaf.
- Brush the top of the meatloaf with additional BBQ sauce.
- Bake for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serve warm with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the meat mixture; it can make the meatloaf tough.
- Ensure your oven is preheated for even cooking.
