Honey BBQ Meatloaf
Honey BBQ Meatloaf is sweet, tangy, and juicy with a rich glaze—perfect for a cozy, flavorful twist on a classic dinner favorite!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup dry breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup barbecue sauce, (any kind)
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup grape jelly
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, beaten eggs, parmesan cheese, parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper. Use clean hands or a wooden spoon to mix until just combined—do not overmix.
- In a medium bowl, combine whole milk, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, and chopped onion. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes so the breadcrumbs can absorb the liquid.
- Add the milk mixture to the meat mixture. Gently mix everything together until evenly combined. (Do not overmix)
- Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Shape it into a log or loaf shape, and try to keep the thickness even so it cooks uniformly.
- In a small bowl, stir together barbecue sauce, honey, and grape jelly until smooth.
- Pour half of the sauce mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and pour the remaining sauce over the meatloaf.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Let the meatloaf rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
