BBQ + Onion Meatloaf

We loved this recipe at our house! French fried onions and BBQ sauce add a nice variation to your normal meatloaf recipe. Meatloaf is the perfect meal for a Sunday evening. We enjoyed ours with sweet potato fries and a green salad on the side. 

BBQ + Onion Meatloaf 

Serves: 5 Prep: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

1.5lb lean ground beef (we use 93 lean)

1 cup of french fried onions

1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs

2 eggs

1/2 cup BBQ sauce, plus more for topping

1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

1 tsp Garlic Powder

1 tsp Onion Powder

Salt and Pepper

Directions: 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. 
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients - ground beef, french fried onions, breadcrumbs, eggs, 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic/onion powder, and salt/pepper. Mix with your hands, using a raking motion until combined. 
  3. Form 5 "loaves" of even sizes, and place in baking pan. Top with BBQ sauce and cover in foil. 
  4. Cook halfway covered, and uncover halfway through (ours took about an hour). Ground beef should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. 
  5. YUM.

Friday Favorites [7-3-2026]

  It's Friday, and it's the 4th of July Eve! Sounds pretty good to me. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  I'm dipping my toe back into blog world because, well, I am missing documenting my kids' childhoods. It brings me such joy to go back and read through memories from years before documented in old posts, so I'm determined to hang out here a bit more consistently to share life.  This summer, I've got a seven (7?!) year old and a new 3 year old. Someone the other day was talking about what a difference a year makes from summer to summer and it is so true. For example, this year Jack and Sammy love to go play together. Last year, both boys required constant supervision. Last year Jack hated going to the pool, and this year he is a little fish! This is a BIG favorite for me! Last weekend Sammy participated in a "Run Hit Pitch" competition and won first place for hitting in his age division. He was so ...

Sammy is SEVEN!

  Sammy is SEVEN! Seven years ago we were at the hospital, excited and nervous to meet our Samuel John.  Sammy was always a happy baby and toddler, and that's continued into childhood. He is so affable, friendly, and confident! He loves his family, he loves to play and he loves to be active. Games are his favorite, and he loves to "snuggle."  Since returning back to school, he's developed a huge love of reading! As a first grade teacher this WARMS my heart. He loves most books, but right now he favors graphic novels. He is the best big brother. Without us asking, he is so willing to help his brother. Just yesterday, Jack sneezed and Sammy ran to get him a wipe and then proceeded to wipe Jack's nose for him. If someone gets hurt he often hurries to see what's wrong and if he can help. He's a lot like Dustin in that he loves to have fun and be social. He's a lot like me in that he loves to make lists and know the when/how things are happening. He loves a...

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...
