Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add a roasting rack on top.

Step 2

To make the meatloaf: In a medium bowl, add the ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, bone broth, egg, ketchup, BBQ sauce, dried parsley, salt, and pepper and mix together until uniform.

Using your hands, form the meat into a loaf that is about 9 x 4-inches and place on the roasting rack.

Step 3

To make the sauce: In a small bowl, add the BBQ sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar and whisk together. Set aside.

Step 4

Bake for 40 minutes, then remove from the oven and brush the sauce on top using a pastry brush. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the internal temperature is 160°F. Allow to cool completely on the rack.

Step 5

Add fresh parsley for garnish (optional).

Tips for Homemade Meatloaf Dinner

• Use high quality ground beef for the best meatloaf. This comforting meatloaf recipe is made with my favorite Organic Prairie Ground Beef!
• I use Montana Mex Organic Ketchup and BBQ Sauce in this recipe. Their condiments are quite a bit different than traditional ketchup and BBQ sauce, as in they have way more flavor and spice! That makes this meatloaf incredibly easy with less ingredients, so I recommend trying these out!
• Using a roasting rack for meatloaf instead of a loaf pan, is much better as it allows for the meatloaf to obtain a nice and crispy exterior crust.
• If you don’t have a loaf pan, then put a cookie cooling rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet and wa-la! You have a roasting pan now.
• You can serve this meatloaf on its own, or also with sides like Bone Broth Mashed Potatoes, Simple Green Salad, or Sweet Potato Fries.
