Yield 10-12 serving(s)

2 lbs ground beef
1 (6 ounce) package chicken flavor stuffing mix
1 cup water
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In bowl, mix all ingredients except for 1/4 cup of the BBQ sauce. I use Sweet Baby Ray's.
  • Line glass cake pan with tin foil.
  • Put meat mixture into pan and shape into a loaf.
  • Cover loaf with rest of BBQ sauce.
  • Bake for 1.5 hours or until there's an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
  • I usually make this and freeze it for members of my church who are sick and need help with cooking, so if it is frozen, it will need to be put in the oven (about the same temp.) for around 30-40 minute.

I don't really like meatloaf at all, but when mom made this one, she really had a hit with the entire family! Not your typical meatloaf -- very tasty! Use fresh sausage, not frozen! Use more crackers if the loaf seems too moist before cooking. Excellent for sandwiches the next day!!

BETTER THAN MOM'S MEATLOAF



Better Than Mom's Meatloaf image

My mom's classic meatloaf was lacking in flavor and the topping was way too sweet. This "better than mom's" version still has lots of old-school appeal but has been kicked up a notch with a rich and savory flavor, plus we said goodbye to the sugary sweet topping. Sliced meatloaf leftovers make the best sandwiches. I like mine with mustard, cheese, and grilled onions!
