Recipe Notes
- Try this recipe with ground turkey instead of ground beef.
- Oats are naturally gluten-free, but to be sure, buy gluten-free quick oats.
- Use your favorite barbecue sauce! The BBQ sauce you choose will change the taste and flavor of the meatloaf (sweet, spicy, etc.).
Here's how to make it:
- Combine the ground beef, 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce, oats, soup mix and egg. Mix well.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it into a casserole dish or loaf pan.
- Bake in a preheated 375-degree F oven for 20 minutes. Top with the remaining barbecue sauce and continue baking 20 to 25 minutes more or until cooked through.
