QUICK & EASY BBQ MEATLOAF (5 INGREDIENTS)



Quick & Easy BBQ Meatloaf (5 Ingredients) image

Very easy quick meatloaf recipe. I make many varieties of meatloaf... sometimes the Italian with breadcrumbs, garlic, eggs, etc... This version is a tasty quick BBQ recipe that is great for busy nights or dinner in a rush. Sometimes I put the remaining BBQ sauce right on the loaf prior to putting it in oven if you like it a little hardened. For easy clean-up, I use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper that I spray lightly with Pam Olive Oil spray.

Tips for Making the Best Barbecue Sauce

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will be. Choose ripe tomatoes, fresh onions, and garlic, and use a good quality ketchup and brown sugar.
  • Simmer the sauce for a long time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, if you have time.
  • Taste the sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper, depending on your taste.
  • Let the sauce cool before using it. This will allow the flavors to continue to develop. You can store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Use the sauce on your favorite grilled or roasted meats, chicken or vegetables. Barbecue sauce is also great on sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs.

Conclusion

Homemade barbecue sauce is easy to make and so much better than store-bought sauce.
