Best Barbecued Meatloaf
I made my first meatloaf when I had a ton of leftover ground beef from trying my hand at meatballs. We were having a few guests for Shabbos, and I was filling the pot with enough meatballs to feed an army. Hubby suggested I use the remaining meatball mixture for meatloaf. "I can't serve that at a Shabbos meal!" I said. "It's so unattractive and ordinary." Hubby assured me it would be wonderful.
At dinnertime, I brought it to the table, apologizing every step of the way. And surprise, it was such a huge hit! More people complimented the meatloaf (the best meatloaf ever) than the meatballs. It has since evolved into this unique barbecued version.
