Paula Dean BBQ Meatloaf

I made a video on a BBQ meatloaf both Lonny and I L-O-V-E from Paula Dean.

I saw her make it once and was sold.

When I tried it the first time it was so simple and quick.

All the materials prepped.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 3 tablespoons vinegar
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup water, to thin sauce if necessary

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix together the beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce. 

Form this mixture into a loaf and place it in a shallow pan.

In a new bowl stir together the remaining tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, mustard, Worcestershire and the water (if too thick).

This isn't in the recipe but I added 2 tablespoon of ketchup and a dash of cayenne pepper to give it a kick.

 Pour this sauce over the meatloaf.

 Bake for 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes with the pan juices.

And this is what it should look like after an hour.

There's two different ways I like to eat this. 

Either with a side of potatoes and some type of steamed veggies. 

Or leftovers are great as a meatloaf sandwich on slices of sourdough bread and mayonnaise.

Tonight I actually made a dinner plate and will have a meatloaf sandwich for lunch tomorrow.
