Tips:

Choose high-quality ground beef. The better the beef, the better the meatloaf will be. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
Use fresh ingredients. Fresh ingredients will give your meatloaf the best flavor. If you can, use fresh herbs and spices.
Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Use a loaf pan that is the right size. The meatloaf should fill the pan without being too crowded.
Bake the meatloaf at the right temperature. The meatloaf should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. Letting the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Lemon barbecue meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The lemon and barbecue sauce give the meatloaf a tangy and smoky flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. This recipe is also a great way to sneak vegetables into your family's diet. The carrots and celery add sweetness and crunch to the meatloaf, and they are barely noticeable. Serve lemon barbecue meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or corn on the cob.
