Meatloaf with barbecue glaze made with a simple BBQ sauce is a new favorite in our house. We love it for an easy Sunday night dinner.
Ever since I can remember I have loved meatloaf. Growing up we had it quite often for meals. There were never any complaints when it was set on the table. It was usually served with mashed potatoes and corn. To this day I still love this combination for dinner. We never had this meatloaf with barbecue glaze, but still I always loved my mom’s meatloaf.
When I got married to Mike, I found out that he was a meatloaf lover too. I was thrilled! But then the kids came along and they did not share our love for meatloaf. Now really how can you not love meatloaf?
So meatloaf was not on the menu too often back in those days. Now that time has moved on and the kids are grown and moved out of the house meatloaf is on the menu once again.
Every once in a while I like to change things around and this where the meatloaf with barbecue glaze comes into the picture.
The barbecue sauce is made with a few ingredients that you probably have in your pantry ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar. All simple ingredients but it makes this meatloaf with barbecue glaze taste fantastic.

My husband’s favourite meal! That glaze looks so good.
Oh, I gotta say that I love meatloaf, too! I didn’t grow up loving it (or even eating it much), but Laura made it for me when we first moved in together…and now it’s a staple. I love the BBQ twist on this version. Sounds delicious, Dawn!
I have not had meat loaf in ages…I am loving the idea of the BBQ glazed on it…great recipe Dawn!
Have a wonderful week 🙂
We always had mashed potatoes and corn too! To this day I still love it. This looks absolutely delicious with the homemade barbecue sauce! I wish I could have a slice. 🙂
Wow, what a neat dish! Love BBQ sauce/glaze on anything. Love the idea on meat loaf! So gotta try this. 🙂
Growing up I only had meatloaf once a year, on my dad’s birthday. It’s his favorite but my mom is not a fan. The BBQ sauce sounds like a great addition! Is there anything BBQ sauce doesn’t make even better?
It’s still meatloaf season with this gloomy weather! I usually top with ketchup and bacon, but I’m going to try BBQ sauce next! YUM!
Looking good.
Such a great idea to use a barbecue glaze, and my husband is a huge barbecue sauce fiend so he will LOVE this! 🙂
