Upside-Down Barbeque Meatloaf image

When I've made 'barbeque meatloaf' before I've simply used the standard spoon-the-glaze-on-top-of-the-loaf-and-bake-it method. This time I wanted to line the loaf pan with some of the sauce, press the meat in, and let it roast in the goodness. I was envisioning a beautiful, glossy finish when I turned it on to the serving platter. It wasn't quite as aesthetically pleasing as I hoped (ugly). But, hey--this is quick and dirty home cooking. It may not have looked good, but it tasted fine!

Time 1h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ¾ pounds very cold ground beef
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon celery salt
¼ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup fine, dry breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup barbeque sauce (such as SFQ®), or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Mix ground beef, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, celery salt, chipotle chile powder, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl with your hands.
  • Stir breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce into meat mixture until thoroughly combined; form into a loaf shape.
  • Spread barbeque sauce out into the bottom of a loaf pan; place meatloaf on top of barbeque sauce and press into pan.
  • Bake meatloaf in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Drain the fat from the loaf pan and invert pan over a plate to transfer meatloaf. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my meatloaf didn't turn out at all. It was a complete disaster.

This meatloaf was a huge disappointment. It was dry, bland, and the barbecue sauce was watery.

This is the best meatloaf recipe I've ever tried. It's so moist and flavorful, and the barbecue sauce is to die for.

I've made this meatloaf several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The barbecue sauce is especially good.

This meatloaf was easy to make and turned out delicious. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it was still very flavorful.

I was skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The meatloaf was moist and flavorful, and the barbecue sauce was the perfect finishing touch.

This upside-down barbecue meatloaf was a hit with my family. The combination of the sweet and tangy barbecue sauce with the savory meatloaf was perfect. I will definitely be making this again!
