Savory BBQ Meatloaf with Oatmeal: A Delicious Twist
  • Prep Time

  • Total Time
    1 hrs 20 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs of ground beef
  • ¾ lb of mild breakfast sausage with a hint of sage
  • A finely chopped onion
  • Shredded carrots for a touch of color
  • 5 tbsp of dry onion soup mix for added flavor
  • 2 tbsp of brown sugar to balance the taste
  • 3 eggs for binding everything together
  • 1 ½ cups of flavorful barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup of rolled oats to add texture, more can be used for extra heartiness
  • 6 slices of bacon, divided for a crispy finish

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). In a spacious mixing bowl, create a flavorful medley by combining ground beef, sausage, diced onion, chopped carrots, onion soup mix, a sprinkle of brown sugar, eggs, and a generous helping of barbeque sauce. Add oats gradually until the mixture reaches a perfect consistency, up to approximately 2 cups. Next, split the blend into two portions and carefully place them into two 9x5-inch loaf pans. To give it an extra touch of flavor, adorn each loaf with three strips of bacon lengthwise. Bake this delectable creation in the preheated oven for about an hour or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the savory juices run clear. Enjoy the delicious aroma that fills your kitchen as this dish reaches perfection.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep the BBQ sauce separate: Store your savory BBQ meatloaf with oatmeal in an airtight container, but make sure to keep the BBQ sauce separate to prevent the meatloaf from getting soggy.
  2. 2. Use a resealable bag: If you have leftover slices of meatloaf, store them in a resealable bag to keep them fresh and easy to grab for a quick snack or meal.
