This meatloaf is full of flavor and moist. BBQ sauce gives just the right pop of flavor. Very happy.

We love meatloaf and this one looked interesting. It was delicious. I used a hickory smoked bbq sauce. The meatloaf was tender, held together when sliced and had an incredible smoky flavor. Love the red bell pepper. Thanks for sharing.
