Unlike some other ones we have done recently, there are no surprises inside or funky combinations. Barbecue Meat Loaf is simply mixed in a single bowl and then then shaped free-form style on a broiler pan. The original recipe has you put only 1 tablespoon of the barbeque sauce in the mix, but we upped it to about 3 because the beef was pretty lean and we didn't want it to be too dry. There was still plenty left over to spread over the top so you could even add a little more to the mix. The sugars in the sauce darkened the top and lent a subtle caramelized sweetness. The loaf held its shape and didn't fall apart when we were slicing. It was still a tad on the dry side, but we really liked the smoky flavor from the sauce. We also used a hotter chili powder which gave it a nice kick. The slice is just the right size for a sandwich too... guess what lunch will be?
