Best Best Darn Meat Brick Meatloaf In Texas Recipes

BEST DARN MEAT-BRICK / MEATLOAF IN TEXAS!

Steps:

• I NEVER make a 2 pound meat-brick. I am giving the majority of these directions as if I was though. You will have to adjust some of them to the amount you are making.
• In the coffee mug of sugar, pour in enough BBQ sauce to make a glaze. You can mix it together in a separate bowl. This will be used at the end of the cooking.
• In a very large bowl, combine everything but the BBQ sauce, eggs,and sugar.
• Next measure in the 1/4 cup of sugar (you may need to add a little more if you are using more than 2 pounds of beef), 1 eggs per pound of ground beef, and 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce per 2 pounds of beef. Mix. To know when you have this at the right consistancy, shape the mixture into a ball in the bowl. If you can.
• pick it up, but it oozes over your hands, it is right. If it stays in a ball and seems "stiff", you need to add another egg first and then more BBQ sauce. You want to add the egg first as it will help the brick to hold together. You may also add more spices as needed here.
• When the meat-brick is to your consistancy (and it is VERY important that it be kinda "runny") put it in a baking dish (NOT a bread loaf pan) large enough to streach it out. If you are making a very large one, you may need to use 2 pans. Place the "blob" in the pan. Streach it out like a "loaf". Be careful not to make it too narrow, or too wide. If it is too narrow, it will dry out, if it is too wide, it be medium-rare in the middle. I don't mind it medium-rare, but my family won't eat it that way.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Check on it once in a while, and make sure that it isn't drying out. When the hour is up, take your glaze, and pour it over the meat-brick. Cook an additional 5 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly.
• I normally serve this with mashed potatoes and green beans.
• If you hate meatloaf, I can almost bet you will love this!

• (HINT: Keep around a box of food service gloves for nasty jobs like this. If you can't find them, steal a handful from the hospital next time you go or stick your hands down in cheap sandwich-sized zipper bags to keep your hands clean. Just toss out or wash with the dishes.).
• Form into a loaf and place in the pan. Mix everything else and pour on top of the meatloaf.
• Bake for 1 hr and 15 minute and juices run clear. Baste occasionally. If the meatloaf starts to burn on top, tent with foil.
