Ingredients
  

SAUCE
  • 1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Ketchup
  • 2 TSP Yellow Mustard Dijon if you have it, but otherwise Yellow is fine
  • 1/4 TSP Nutmeg OK to omit if you don't have it
MEATLOAF
  • 1 1/2 Pounds Ground beef Or turkey, note: leaner meat works better because the fattier cuts like 80/20 leave tons of residual fat pooled in the tray
  • 2/3 Cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 Cup Diced Onion White or yellow, avoid red
  • 1 TBSP Barbecue sauce Anything you like works here, make sure it's brown and sweet
  • 1 TBSP Yellow Mustard

  5. While baking, combine all the sauce ingredients together
  6. Pull the meatloaf out of the oven and use paper towels to blot up grease that has pooled on top of the meat
