Cook the onions and mushrooms until softened and dark.
When you add softened onions and mushrooms to the meat mixture they not only add a delicious flavor and texture they also keep your meatloaf moist!

We are a barbecue lovin’ family! Our fridge is always stocked with at least three different BBQ sauces.
Use your favorite for this recipe. I used the Jack Daniel’s Spicy BBQ for a nice kick to go with the sweet onion and savory bacon.

Form into a large loaf and place in a baking dish.
Spread the remaining BBQ sauce on top of the meatloaf then bake for about an hour.
Bubbly and delicious, right out of the oven!
The BBQ Sauce forms a flavorful crust while the inside is moist and savory!
