I should have paid closer attention to the other reviews and used much less BBQ sauce than the recipe suggested. I used an entire bottle for 2lbs of meat and the BBQ flavor was too overpowering for us. We liked the onions and peppers, that added a nice twist. I don't think that I would make this again, but if I did, I would use MUCH LESS BBQ sauce than suggested. -
Yummmm! What a great way to make meatloaf. I doubled the recipe to make sure we would have leftovers and used a *lot* less BBQ sauce than called for. I probably used half a bottle for 2 lbs of meat and it was perfect. I used KC Masterpiece because it's my favorite and it's very strong so maybe that had something to do with it. I also used a red and a green bell pepper for coloring as suggested. My wife said this was the best meatloaf she had ever had. Definitely a keeper! -
This is a very tasty meatloaf recipe! I also added the chopped onions into the mixture, vesus on top. I omitted the peppers b/c of personal preference and used Onion soup mix - didn't have French Onion on hand. I used "diana's own gourmet bbq sauce" and it was terrific!! I served this recipe with cheddar scallop potatoes and brussel sprouts - my hubby ate the leftovers the next day for lunch - the other "half" of the meatloaf! This is a keeper - I highly recommend this!! -
Yummy! I made this for Worldwide Recipezaar Day. I doubled the recipe and it JUST served 6 people, unfortunately, there were no leftovers to test the next-day sandwich theory. I chopped up the onions and peppers and put them all into the meatloaf mix instead of placing half on top. Next time I'll add a red pepper for color as well. -
Loved this meatloaf. I also reduced the amount of BBQ sauce. There was no mention of the size of bottle and our favorite BBQ sauce comes in a 32oz bottle. This would have been way to much so I used 1/4 cup in the meat mixture and another 1/4 cup on top. It turned out perfect. This is a definate keeper. Thanks Leona.
