I stole this recipe for Honey BBQ Meatloaf from allrecipesfree.com who stole it from myrecipemagic.com. For this recipe of Honey BBQ Meatloaf: ground beef, bread crumbs, honey, barbecue sauce and other ingredients are mixed together. The meat mixture is formed into a loaf. Additional honey, barbecue sauce and Worcestershire sauce is mixed together and spread on top while baking. A soft, delicious meatloaf is the final result, no gravy needed!
Did you know? Meatloaf is defined as ground meat mixed with various seasonings and bound with eggs or breadcrumbs. The mixture can be either spooned into a loaf pan or hand formed into a loaf shape and placed in a baking pan before being baked.¹ (see more trivia in the Trivia tab)
In a large bowl, add together 1 lb ground beef (I like meatloaf mix), ½ cup seasoned Panko bread crumbs, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp mustard, ½ cup barbecue sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. (I doubled this recipe so I would have leftovers.)
Mix ingredients together by hand.
Shape into a long thick log and place in 8×14” loaf pan sprayed with non-stick spray or in the middle of a sprayed 9×13″ casserole dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup barbecue sauce, 1 tbsp honey and 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce.
Spread half of the mixture evenly all over the meatloaf.
Bake 45 minutes at 350F (since I doubled the recipe I cooked my meatloaf for 1 hour). Drizzle with reserved honey barbecue sauce the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Slice and serve.
Don’t forget about saving some for leftovers!

Recipe Notes
I doubled this because I like leftover meatloaf sandwiches the next day. 2 eggs were added to the doubled recipe to help bind the mixture together, it was very loose. Maybe my barbecue sauce was too watery, but the meat mixture would not even stick together to form a loaf. Even after adding the eggs, the cooked sliced were not firm. They were fully cooked but crumbled easily on the plate. Maybe this is why the posted picture on the website is only of the whole meatloaf in the pan. Tricky! Since I doubled the recipe, I cooked this for 1 hour, I also started to add some of the sauce the last ten minutes of cooking so the sauce would cook and thicken on the meatloaf.
