Mamaw Franklins Barbecued Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the bacon in a large saute pan and cook over medium heat until most of the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon to a large bowl. Increase the heat slightly (between medium and medium-high) and add the onions to the bacon fat in the pan and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook until tender, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Transfer to the bowl with the bacon. Stir in the chopped ribs and pulled pork. Cool completely.
• Add the beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, mustard powder, smoked paprika, basil, thyme, 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (depending on how salty the ribs and pulled pork are) and several heavy grinds of pepper. Use your hands to mix until well combined. Form into a 9-by-3 1/2-inch loaf that is about 2 inches tall on the prepared baking sheet. Spread 1/4 cup of the BBQ sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
• Bake for 30 minutes, and then spread the remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce on top of the partially cooked meatloaf. Continue to bake until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 45 more minutes.
• Serve with additional warm BBQ sauce alongside.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the beef, pork, bread crumbs, barbecue sauce, egg, onion, bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared sheet pan and shape by hand into a loaf, about 8x4 inches.
• Whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside 3 tablespoons. Brush the remaining sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
• Bake for 1 hour.
• Remove the meatloaf and brush the reserved sauce on top. Bake for 15-20 more minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Mix together beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, salt, pepper, sauce and paste.
• Put into a 9x13 glass dish.
• Spread flat and then make some shallow holes in the top with a spoon.
• Mix together vinegar, brown sugar, mustard and Worcestershire.
• Pour over the top of loaf.
• Bake for 1 hour.
• You may need to spoon off some of the fat about 15 minutes before the cooking time is over.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine ground beef, cracker crumbs, tomato sauce, eggs, onion, bell pepper, salt, thyme, and marjoram in a large bowl and mix well. Shape beef mixture into two equally sized loaves. Place both loaves in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Meanwhile, mix ketchup and corn syrup in a small bowl to make a glaze.
• Remove baking dish from the oven and remove foil. Brush glaze onto the loaves. Return baking dish to the oven uncovered, and continue baking until loaves are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients; set aside. In a large bowl, mix together meat loaf ingredients. Add half of the sauce to the meat loaf mixture; mix well. Press into a 9x5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour. Remove from oven; drain. Pour remaining sauce over loaf. Return to oven and bake 20 minutes longer or until no pink remains.

Steps:

• Combine the first 7 ingredients.
• Shape meatloaf into a ring and place in a dutch oven.
• In a bowl, mix together the worcestershire sauce, vinegar, sugar, ketchup, water and onion.
• Pour over meat and fill hole with sauce.
• Baste one or twice while cooking.
• Bake, covered, in dutch oven at 350 degree for approximately 1 hour, 30 minutes or until done.
