Ingredients

  • 3 lbs beef
  • 2 cups Italian bread crumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 onion
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup bbq sauce
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  • Dice your onion and red pepper into small dices. 
  • Heat your pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Saute your pepper and onions until soft and let cool. 
  • While your onion and peppers cool you can prepare your loaf pan. Take your brown sugar and line the bottom of the pan], patting it down. Next, take your bbq sauce and drizzle it over the brown sugar. This is going to make a sort of gravy that is the KEY to this recipe!
  • Now take your beef and add the bread crumbs, eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and the cooled peppers and onions. And mix well. 
  • Take your mix and add it to the loaf pan. Cook in a 375-degree oven for about an hour and fifteen minutes (or to temp at 160).
  • Remove from the oven and let cool. Slice into pieces and drizzle the gravy over the slice of meatloaf. Serve with your favorites side (mash potatoes).
