For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of ground beef and ground pork. Feel free to experiment with different barbecue sauce flavors to customize the meatloaf to your liking. A smoky or spicy sauce would be a great addition. If you don't have breadcrumbs on hand, crushed crackers or even rolled oats can be used as a substitute. Make sure your ground beef is very cold before mixing to prevent the meatloaf from becoming tough. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or corn on the cob.
