Intro
MEAT!!! In Loaf form! In all of its glory! Who doesn’t love a good Meatloaf?!? When I was a kid my Mom would make meatloaf with a really great glaze on top and would serve it with tater tots! I think almost every kid has a great meatloaf memory from their childhood. She didn’t make it too often which kept it special…Thanks, Mom! I never got burned out on it. Which is why I still make meatloaf about once every 3 months.
Now this recipe is not my Mom’s classic recipe and to tell you the truth I’ll never make my Mom’s. It was unique to her and I want to keep that memory in my mind throughout my life. With that said this will not be my last meatloaf recipe, I will share it’s just the BEST one I have. I’m leading with the best.
I mean you have everything a guy could want in this recipe. Large amounts of ground beef & sausage. Bacon, Maple BBQ Sauce, and did I mention BACON! They all work together to create a flavor and taste that makes you feel good! It will definitely fill your belly!
Men you can do this!
Beer pairing
Beer with meatloaf as a kid this was never an option. Mom would have a Bud Light sometimes in those little pony bottles. I think I’ll go with Mom’s lead on this one! A great American classic lager with a classic American family dish. Make sure it’s cold to offset the heat from the meatloaf. No fancy explanation as to why a cold American lager works here…it just works! Go with it! A simple meal and a simple refreshing beer!
Ingredients
- 1 LB of Ground Beef
- 1 LB of Pork Sausage
- A cup of Bread Crumbs
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 TBS of Seasoning (Salt and Pepper works fine, but here I used Flavor God Everything)
- 3 Strips of Bacon Cut in Half
- ¼ Cup of Maple BBQ Sauce
Directions
- Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees
- In a large bowl put the Ground Beer & Sausage in
- Dump in the Bread Crumbs and seasoning next
- Now add in the 2 eggs.
- Mix this all together with a spoon. (You can also use your hands right after you wash them…guys)
- Once mixed together you want to form a loaf in a loaf pan that has been sprayed with a nonstick agent.
- Now that the loaf is formed cut the bacon into half pieces so that you have six in total and space them out over the top of the meatloaf
- Baste the BBQ sauce over the bacon covering the top completely
- Once the oven is up to temp put the loaf in the oven for 1 hour
- Remove from the oven slice up and enjoy it!

Did you know that you posted this recipe on what would have been your Grandpa’s 100th birthday?? He was a pretty good cook, too, although after a multitude of Michelobs his BBQ chicken got a bit crispy ~ LOL
I knew he was born in 1920 and that it was in January, but I had forgotten the date. That is kinda cool that I posted on that day! I remember his BBQ Chicken!
