Bbq Meatloaf With Tangy Onion Topping

Submitted by Heather Sullivan

"I came up with this recipe out of frustration at so many meatloaf recipes."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 45mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• For Meatloaf

• 500 g ground beef
• 500 g ground pork
• 1 onion, chopped fine
• 1 slice bread, torn up
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1⁄4 cup barbecue sauce
• 3 garlic cloves, pressed (or very finely chopped)

• For topping

• 1 onion, cut in half and sliced (so you end up with semi-circles of onion)
• 1⁄4 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

directions

1. For the meat loaf, combine bread, egg, barbecue sauce, garlic, pepper and chopped onion. Crumble pork and beef over top and mix well with hands or wooden spoon.
2. Place in a loaf pan and bake at 350F, 175C for an hour or until fully cooked. Let rest or sit for 5 minutes and drain off any fat.
3. Meanwhile, cook the sliced onion in a little water on medium heat until lightly golden. Add more water if necessary to prevent sticking.
4. Add barbecue sauce and sugar and mix well. Simmer on low heat until thick.
5. Pour topping over cooked meatloaf or serve along side meatloaf.

I couldnt make the topping because I only had one onion so my review is for the meatloaf only. It didnt have alot of grease which was nice but it was also a bit dry. I did serve it with BBQ sauce which helped alot. My 6 yr old really enjoyed it. Thanks for an easy meatloaf recipe!

The tangy topping really makes this a special meat loaf recipe. I really liked it with the meat loaf.

I saw this and had to make it. It is much better than a typical meatloaf. The pork beef combo is a good idea and the BBQ sauce and onions give it a lot more interest. Anyone would like this and it was fast, easy and economical to make too.

It was a delicious change to the conventional meatloaf. The tangy onion topping was a yummy addition. Thanks Heather for the great dinner recipe. I am keeping this one on file!
