Combine all ingredients (other than BBQ Sauce) in a large mixing bowl and shape into a loaf.

Step 3

Place on a well greased cooling rack.

Cook to 165° F internal temperature. When Meatloaf is approximately 150° F evenly coat the Meatloaf with the BBQ Sauce.

Slice and Serve immediately. The bits that get caught between and below the cooling rack are exceptionally delicious (we call them Meatloaf Burnt Ends).

Kitchen Notes

I'm not a big meatloaf fan to start with but this recipe came from a friend at work and changed my mind.

I'm ashamed to admit that this NC native modified this recipe from Aaron Franklin, the Texas King of BBQ.

Brisket

Unlike the Chopped Pork, I have no shame to have taken this method from Aaron Franklin.

Countdown Ribs

This method is often referred to as 3-2-1 based on the typical timing of the phases.
