Barbecue Glaze For Meatloaf Or Burgers Recipes

MEATLOAF WITH BBQ SAUCE GLAZE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Lightly grease a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and pork, breadcrumbs, egg, 2/3 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons Creole mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, grill seasoning, and chopped onion.
• Bake for 1 hour, then carefully drain off excess grease.
• In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients and spread over the top of the loaf. Continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until the internal temperature reads between 155 F and 160 F on a digital thermometer.
• Remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

TEXAS SMOKED BARBECUE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Combine salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, cumin, Mexican oregano, and thyme in a spice grinder until powdered. Set rub aside.
• Combine beef, almond flour, bell pepper, onion, jalapeno, egg, and garlic in a bowl. Mix lightly with hands until loosely combined. Gently fold in spice rub mixture until distributed throughout.
• Punch holes in the bottom of the aluminum foil pan and coat with grapeseed oil. Form the meat mixture into a loaf and place in the prepared pan. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the smoker.
• Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Place a water-filled pan under the grate where the meatloaf will be placed. Fill firebox with charcoal and 1 chunk pecan wood.
• Place meatloaf in the hot smoker.
• Combine apple juice, vinegar, bourbon, water, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice in a clean, all-purpose spray bottle. Spray the outside of the meatloaf well with apple spray every 30 minutes.
• Refill firebox with charcoal and 1 chunk pecan wood every 45 minutes to maintain temperature; ground meat absorbs smoke very easily, so use only 1 chunk of wood at a time. Smoke meatloaf until internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F (55 degrees C), about 2 hours.
• Combine water, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, mustard, lemon juice, honey, liquid smoke, ancho chile powder, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring glaze to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until reduced, about 20 minutes.
• Discontinue apple spray; brush glaze over entire top and sides of meatloaf every 30 minutes. Continue smoking until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 4 to 5 hours more. Remove meatloaf from smoker and let rest 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

BBQ MEATLOAF BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients together very well by hand. Divide into 4 portions and form into patties (the sirloin does not shrink, so you get really nice thick burgers). Place on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for at least an hour before grilling. Fire up the grill to 400 degrees and grill the burgers for 6-7 minutes per side.
