Bbq Meatloaf With Tangy Onion Topping

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

• Ready In: 1 hr 45 mins
• 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.
