(Not Really) BBQ Meatloaf

Meatloaf. BBQ Sauce. Bacon on top. So what if it was cooked in an oven?

I was looking to see what to barbecue this weekend, when I discovered a recipe for a BBQ Meatloaf. Upon further review, it was really just a meatloaf with a bucket of barbecue sauce in it.

But I like barbecue sauce. And bacon, which was on the ingredients list.  So, what the heck, I made it, and it was pretty darn good.  Here you go…

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 3/4 pound sausage
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, shredded
• ¼ tsp Sage
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Pepper
• ½  tsp garlic powder
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 cup Show Me BBQ sauce (or whatever sauce you prefer)
• 3/4 cup rolled oats, or more if desired
• 3 slices bacon

Mix all the ingredients, except the bacon.  Put into a loaf pan, and place the strips of bacon on top. Cook at 375 for an hour. Drizzle with a little extra sauce, and set to broil. Watch closely, and broil just to get the bacon nice and crisp on the edges.
