It’s finally here! We had to put some finishing touches on it, because it is one of hubby’s original recipes. This is something we make here at the house often, because we don’t like ketchup; or how the traditional meatloaf is topped with it. We used our favorite glass bakeware for this dish. There is restaurant quality Anchor Hocking glassware available for the home chef who needs everything!

This recipe will make my husband sing. Well, maybe not sing, but it will light up his face with a huge smile because it combines two of his favorite cuisines (meat & bbq) and some of his favorite flavors. This will be in our near future! Great post, thanks!

Definitely let us know what you think! We’re looking for strangers to give us honest opinions, so hubby can gauge how well he’s doing in his endeavors. Everyone we’ve made it for says it rocks, but they’re vested in us and may not want to say otherwise, LOL.
I don’t like meatloaf any other way, though.
