My sister had a bunch of our friends over for pizza on Saturday. My friend Alicia and her boyfriend Bruce brought a case of “Up in Smoke BBQ sauce.” Bruce created the recipe and the artwork for the bottle. His family has a catering business in his hometown of Ohio. He has several different flavors. I was excited to try it on some meatloaf.

Here’s the link to his BBQ Sauce! https://www.uisbbq.com

What you’ll need:

1 1/2 pounds of meatloaf mix

BBQ sauce

1 onion chopped

2 carrots chopped

2 celery chopped

1 egg

Breadcrumbs (I usually put Italian bread in the food processor but for sake of time I used store bought breadcrumbs)

Bacon bits (I had three pieces left over from breakfast)

To make:

Pre-heat oven to 350

Sautee onion, carrot and celery.

Add olive oil, salt and pepper.

In a bowl blend meat, sauteed veggies, breadcrumbs, egg, bacon  and 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce.

Mold into a meatloaf and spread some BBQ sauce on top.

Bake for one hour at 350 degrees!

Happy Monday!
