UPSIDE-DOWN BARBEQUE MEATLOAF

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.

BARBEQUE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Grease a loaf pan with bacon fat
• In a medium-large mixing bowl, put all main ingredients in and mix until it's sticky and combined. Don't over-mix though, or you'll have pelletloaf, not meatloaf.
• Put into the loaf pan, smooth the top out a bit if you would like. Bake for an hour or until it reaches 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
• While it's in the oven, mix up the sauce ingredients. Just before meatloaf is done (10 minutes or so), spoon/brush sauce over the top, return to oven and let it go in there for the remaining time/temperature. Voila. You have meatloaf.
