Honey BBQ Meatloaf
Description
This Honey BBQ Meatloaf recipe brings together ground beef and pork for a rich texture, mixed with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley to enrich the flavor. Breadcrumbs soaked in milk along with minced garlic and chopped onion are incorporated to keep the meatloaf tender during baking. A homemade sauce, combining barbecue sauce, honey, and grape jelly, is spread over the loaf before and after baking for a sticky, sweet glaze.
The meatloaf is baked at 350°F in a loaf pan, first covered with half the sauce for 40 minutes, then finished with the remaining sauce and baked for an additional 20 minutes until reaching an internal temperature of 160°F. This technique ensures a moist interior with a flavorful topping.
After resting for about 5 minutes, the meatloaf can be sliced and served. It pairs well with classic sides like mashed potatoes or a fresh salad for a filling meal.
