Man Pleasin' Mini Butter Barbecue Meatloaf Recipe Like Mom Used to Make by Bill Heleine

There are so many different ways to make meatloaf – from Amish sauerkraut meatloaf to steak sauce meatloaf to gochujang meatloaf to firefighter's meatloaf to turkey and stuffing meatloaf. This mini meatloaf recipe is actually my mother's recipe with a few tweaks from me!

The mini meatloaves are simply ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, chopped green pepper, chopped onion and ketchup all mixed together. The butter barbecue sauce is prepared with butter (of course), chopped onion, ketchup, brown sugar, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt and black pepper. The sauce simmers quickly on the stovetop and then is poured over the meatloaves before they're baked. Amazing. 

We enjoy this butter barbecue meatloaf recipe with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. Slice the leftovers for meatloaf sandwiches.
