Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients in one large bowl using your hands.
- Form one large meatloaf in a 9 x 13 baking pan or make smaller meatloafs in mini bread tins. (Great for freezing!)
- Wash hands very well.
- Brush additional barbecue sauce over the top. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Bake at 375 degrees for at 60 to 75 minutes. Cook the meatloaf on a lower rack to prevent the barbecue sauce on top from getting overcooked.
- Serve with your favorite veggies and a green salad. For a true comfort food meal, serve with mashed potatoes and peas! Enjoy!
KID FRIENDLY MEATLOAF
As a kid, I loved my Grandma's meatloaf but quickly learned that not all meatloaf is created the same - others were dry, musty smelling, or had large pieces of things I didn't like (onions or peppers for instance). I started with my Grandma's recipe and tweaked it with my kids giving reviews. I learned that musty smell was from too much sage so be careful with that. The real secrets here though are the shape and size - cake shaped rather than loaf shaped allows the center to cook without overcooking or drying the outer area; and, mincing the onions so they are not so visible after cooking (a good trick for all recipes when dealing with kids). Feel free to add your own spicing touches - so long as you keep the shape and the ketchup glaze this recipe is guaranteed to stay moist and never need a sauce!

KIDS FAVORITE MEATLOAF
Bored of 'plain old meatloaf'? We tried a recipe with a twist. All you need is some smaller pans in the shapes of characters, or whatever. The kids love the shapes and rave about the taste!!! Mine like to use Winnie the Pooh. Be creative and have fun.
