Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion diced fine
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 85% lean
  • 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke optional
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a baking dish or baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a small skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke (if using), salt, black pepper, and the onion-garlic mixture. Form into a loaf and set on the baking dish.
  • Top with the BBQ sauce and bake for 1 hour or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
