Crazy Best Meatloaf Ever!

Submitted by KBC2831

"This meatloaf changes a little bit each time I make it. Whatever sounds good I throw in, its a really flexible recipe. I kind of took the basic Martha Stewart recipe I had seen on TV once and threw in a bunch of other stuff."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 15mins
• Ingredients: 13
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄2 lb ground beef
• 1⁄2 lb ground pork
• 2 eggs
• 1 1⁄2 cups plain cubed dry prepared stuffing
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic cloves
• 4 ounces tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon salt & pepper
• 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
• 2 -3 dashes of any good barbecue sauce
• 1⁄3 1/3 cup French-fried onions (from a can works ) or 1/4 cup diced cooked carrot (from a can works )
• 2 ounces tomato paste
• 1⁄4 - 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
• 1 dash barbecue sauce

directions

1. Pre heat over to about 350 degrees.
2. I think the only way to make meatloaf is with your hands. Using a mixer or other stirring implement always seemed to make the meatloaf tough.
3. So throw everything into a great big bowl and mix it all up with your hands. I like to push the breadcrumbs into the meat and make sure they kind of break up a bit.
4. in a separate bowl mix together the last 3 ingredients - remaining tomato paste, brown sugar and BBQ sauce.
5. Throw the whole crazy meatloaf mess into a pan and spread the topping across the entire top.
6. Bake in the over for about an hour or until the center is done.
