Mamaw Franklins Barbecued Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the bacon in a large saute pan and cook over medium heat until most of the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon to a large bowl. Increase the heat slightly (between medium and medium-high) and add the onions to the bacon fat in the pan and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook until tender, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Transfer to the bowl with the bacon. Stir in the chopped ribs and pulled pork. Cool completely.
• Add the beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, mustard powder, smoked paprika, basil, thyme, 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (depending on how salty the ribs and pulled pork are) and several heavy grinds of pepper. Use your hands to mix until well combined. Form into a 9-by-3 1/2-inch loaf that is about 2 inches tall on the prepared baking sheet. Spread 1/4 cup of the BBQ sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
• Bake for 30 minutes, and then spread the remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce on top of the partially cooked meatloaf. Continue to bake until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 45 more minutes.
• Serve with additional warm BBQ sauce alongside.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix together the horseradish, mustard, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
• In large bowl, mix ground beef, onion, egg, and Worcestershire sauce. Add contents of small bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the bread crumbs and combine well.
• Place mixture into a 1-pound loaf pan. Pour ketchup over top and place in oven.
• Bake uncovered for 45 to 60 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the first 7 ingredients.
• Shape meatloaf into a ring and place in a dutch oven.
• In a bowl, mix together the worcestershire sauce, vinegar, sugar, ketchup, water and onion.
• Pour over meat and fill hole with sauce.
• Baste one or twice while cooking.
• Bake, covered, in dutch oven at 350 degree for approximately 1 hour, 30 minutes or until done.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and scrape the grates clean. Spray grates with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, tarragon, sea salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture in half, and form 2 loaves, each about 4 inches in diameter and 6 inches long. In a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce with ketchup until well combined.
• Place each meatloaf directly on the prepared grill grates, then spread each with about 3 tablespoons of barbecue sauce mixture; grill until the loaves reach an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees F (73 degrees C), about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Heat a smoker to 225°F.
• Combine the meat, eggs, bread crumbs, milk, barbecue sauce, and soup mix. Shape the mixture into a tube or loaf and place it inside a tin baking pan. Place the pan inside the smoker for 4 hours. Pat uses cured applewood in the smoker.
