Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef do not use lean, you want a bit of fat to keep the meatloaf moist. I used 80/20
  • 1 3/4 cups possibly more bread crumbs
  • 1 egg whisked
  • 2 cloves garlic minces
  • 1/2 small onion minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/4 cups your favorite BBQ sauce divided
  • Large hamburger buns
  • Mayonnaise
  • 8-12 slices bacon cooked
  • French-fried onions

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Place the ground beef into a large bowl and add all of the remaining ingredients up to the buns.
  • Using your hands, combine the mixture well. If it is too wet add a bit more bread crumbs. If it is too dry add just a bit of water and combine.
  • Place the mixture onto the foil and form into a loaf. You want a loaf that is just slightly larger around than your buns.
  • Brush 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce over the meatloaf then sprinkle with black pepper.
  • Bake 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F.
  • Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes then brush with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce.
  • Slather buns with mayonnaise.
  • Slice meatloaf and place on the buns.
  • Add bacon, a good dollop of BBQ sauce and some French-fried onions.
  • Add top bun, serve, and devour.
