Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb ground beef or 1 lb turkey
36 saltine crackers, crushed (1 sleeve)
1/4 cup of your favorite salsa
1 egg
1 cup of shredded cheese
1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Mix together the meat, crushed crackers salsa and egg. Cut the mixture into two parts. I generally make one part a little bit bigger then the second.
  • Take the larger section and form it into a loaf, flatten the top and create a ridge around edge. Fill the hole you created with the shredded cheese. Take the remaining meat mixture and cover the cheese, pinching together the edges of the meat to keep the cheese inside. press down the center of the loaf to flat it out a bit.
  • Cook for 50 minutes at 350 degrees. Take the loaf out and poor the sauce on top and cook for another 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of ground meat. A combination of ground beef and ground pork is ideal for meatloaf, as it provides a good balance of flavor and texture.
  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices will give your meatloaf the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more flavorful.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and gravy are all classic accompaniments to meatloaf.

Cheesy BBQ meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
