BBQ Meatloaf

For each 1 lb chopped meat (we usually use extra lean or shoulder meat, or mixed meat/chicken chopped meat):

1 egg (Rachel suggests 2 eggs/lb to help it stay together)
1/4 to 1/3 bottle of 24 oz BBQ sauce (6-8 oz); we usually use Kraft brand regular, hickory smoked, or honey mustard. You can experiment.
3/4 teaspoon onion powder, garlic powder, paprika
Pinch of pepper
1/3-1/2 large onion (vidalia or Spanish), chopped
1/2 head fresh garlic (about 6 cloves), chopped
1 cup oats

**optional: sprinkle minced garlic and/or onion on top before baking.

Instructions:
1. Mix eggs, spices, chopped onion & garlic, BBQ sauce together in a large bowl
2. pour in mix in meat and oats
3. squeeze mixture with your hands (mixing alone doesn't work) until thoroughly mixed together.
4. pour into square or loaf tin
4. bake in middle of oven at 350 - 375F for 45-60 minutes. Check after 45 mins.

Notes:

You can use a square tin at 350F
Loaf tin probably better 375F
Usually a family pack of chopped meat is about 3-3.5 lbs.

Freezes well. Great to make 2+ and freeze some for Shabbat. Reheat in oven thoroughly before Shabbat--takes some time to defrost and reheat.
