Lemon Barbeque Meatloaf Recipes

LEMON BARBECUE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish. Make sure it has a secure cover if you want to freeze these.
• In a large bowl, mix well: ground beef, lemon juice, water, egg, bread, onion and seasoning salt. Shape into 6 individual loaves (or large balls) and place in greased baking dish. Cover.
• Alternative: Once frozen, wrap each loaf with either freezer paper or parchment paper. Put in freezer bag and take out as many as you want at a time.
• Stir together the topping: ketchup, brown sugar, mustard powder, allspice and cloves. Place in Tupperware-type container or zip-lock freezer bag.
• Freeze. Make sure you mark the date and contents on the containers.
• To cook:
• Thaw completely.
• Preheat oven to 350°F Bake loaves for 15 minutes. Spoon sauce over the loaves, then top each one with a slice of lemon. Return to oven and continue cooking for another 30 minutes or until cooked through.

GRILLED BBQ MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and scrape the grates clean. Spray grates with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, tarragon, sea salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture in half, and form 2 loaves, each about 4 inches in diameter and 6 inches long. In a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce with ketchup until well combined.
• Place each meatloaf directly on the prepared grill grates, then spread each with about 3 tablespoons of barbecue sauce mixture; grill until the loaves reach an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees F (73 degrees C), about 1 hour.

BBQ MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the bacon in a large saute pan and cook over medium heat until most of the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon to a large bowl. Increase the heat slightly (between medium and medium-high) and add the onions to the bacon fat in the pan and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook until tender, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Transfer to the bowl with the bacon. Stir in the chopped ribs and pulled pork. Cool completely.
• Add the beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, mustard powder, smoked paprika, basil, thyme, 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (depending on how salty the ribs and pulled pork are) and several heavy grinds of pepper. Use your hands to mix until well combined. Form into a 9-by-3 1/2-inch loaf that is about 2 inches tall on the prepared baking sheet. Spread 1/4 cup of the BBQ sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
• Bake for 30 minutes, and then spread the remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce on top of the partially cooked meatloaf. Continue to bake until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 45 more minutes.
• Serve with additional warm BBQ sauce alongside.
