Equipment
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
- Meat Thermometer
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground meat (like lean ground beef or turkey)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp dried minced onion
- 1 tsp dried minced garlic
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 oz sugar-free BBQ sauce (for the mix)
- 1 large egg
- 2 oz sugar-free BBQ sauce (for topping)
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)
- 0.5 cup cooked, chopped bacon (about 5 slices, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish – this makes cleanup super easy!
- In a large bowl, gently combine the ground meat, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, minced onion, minced garlic, garlic powder, chili powder, ground mustard, salt, 2 ounces of sugar-free BBQ sauce, and the egg. Mix until just combined, don't overwork it!
- Press your seasoned meat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the remaining 2 ounces of sugar-free BBQ sauce over the top, then sprinkle generously with the extra 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the chopped bacon.
- Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) – this keeps it juicy and safe!
- Let your delicious meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. It tastes even better with a little patience!
