This egg-free meatloaf combines ground beef, vegetables, breadcrumbs and barbecue sauce. Make it for dinner, or cook an extra loaf to freeze for another night. Let it rest before slicing so it holds together when served.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb ground beef

  • 1 1/2 cups finely diced onion

  • 1/4 cup minced garlic

  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for topping, optional)

  • 3 Tbsp BBQ seasoning

  • 2 cups breadcrumbs

  • 1 1/2 cups finely diced green pepper or diced green chiles


No eggs — BBQ sauce replaces them

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or foil, or lightly grease a loaf pan.

  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer on low, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, BBQ sauce, BBQ seasoning, breadcrumbs, and green pepper or chiles.

  3. Mix just until combined — do not overwork.

  4. Shape mixture into a loaf on the pan or press into a loaf pan.

  5. Brush the top with additional BBQ sauce if desired.

  6. Bake 50–70 minutes, depending on thickness, until internal temperature reaches 160°F.

  7. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.
