Barbecue meatloaf and potatoes
Loading...SKILL LEVEL :
EasyMikey's favorite meal
This meatloaf was my son Mikey's favorite meal when he was a kid. My sister Becky came up with this method of cooking meatloaf. Looking to get a few more veggies into her kids' diet, she snuck in some spinach between cheese, meat and barbecue sauce. I just made this meatloaf for Mikey and his college buddy. They had thirds and fourths. So I think the recipe has stood the test of time.
Barbecue sauce
This meal is meant to be something you can pull together quickly and without a lot of fuss, so I use bottled barbecue sauce for simplicity's sake. I use Bull's Eye Original barbecue sauce, but feel free to use your favorite.

Ground turkey
You can substitute ground turkey for the hamburger. For the best flavor I recommend using dark meat ground turkey and not breast meat ground turkey.
Make ahead
The meatloaf could be prepared the day before, refrigerated and then popped in the oven for an easy weekday meal.
Leftover sandwiches
If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, this meat loaf makes an excellent sandwich.

My sister’s stealth recipe to get more veggies in her kids’ diet, she buries spinach deep in the meat loaf and disguises it with cheddar cheese and barbecue sauce. The result is delicious.
