I call this meatloaf man-pleasing meatloaf because my hubby and son loves it. I have several meatloaf recipes that I keep in rotation ( like this easy turkey meatloaf) but this one definitely gets made the most when we’re in the mood for beef.
This easy meatloaf recipe is so juicy, yet firm and full of flavor. Even folks who aren’t meatloaf fans tend to devour this one. It can even be garnished up to serve to company if you’re needing something easy and delicious to whip up.
The BBQ sauce glaze really adds a nice lil tang to the top. I usually serve this meatloaf with roasted veggies, cheesy scalloped potatoes and yeast rolls. It’s one of those hearty, filling meals that makes you just wanna sit back and stare at your plate when your done. Completely satisfied with what just happened.
Watch me make this man pleasing easy meatloaf recipe from start to finish!

I made this for my kids and it was a hit!!! Very flavorful and I followed it to a T. I also made it again as burgers…. Amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
Absolutely delicious!! My husband and children loved this recipe, as we do with all of her recipes. I will be using this recipe whenever I do meatloaf.
What kind of chili sauce is used? And, where is it found in grocery store?
This recipe is just as the title states. This surely pleased my husband! I wasn’t even a meatloaf fan but they is one right here… Also, I have shared this recipe link with so many people. Thank you so much for this recipe and I’m going to try several others.
OMG!!!! Amazing! Don’t tell mom I traded in her well loved recipe! I saved all the “meatloaf oils” and cut potatoes into 6 pc (after cooking meatloaf-don’t want to dice too small or it will saturate potato) And tossed the potatoes in all that meatloaf oils, and baked at 350 till soft then broiled for a few min and house went nuts!
Thank you! Followed recipe to a T and absolutely amazing
What if you can’t find chargrill bbq sauce?!
Add liquid smoke
Would you recommend whipping cream instead of milk?
I was searching for a new meatloaf recipe and came across your video on YouTube. I made it tonight, exactly by the recipe and didn’t change a thing. I just pulled the meatloaf out of the oven and OH. MY. GOD. I didn’t even serve it for dinner yet.. I only picked a little piece off the corner when I was waiting for it to cool, and had to come here and write a review right away! It’s so amazing and know my husband and kids will love it. Now I just have to avoid the temptation of cutting a big ole piece while I’m waiting for everyone to come home! Thank you for taking the bland and boring out of meatloaf!! We’ll be making this one a lot.
This is one of my favorite recipes of yours. Love it!!
I absolutely LOVE her recipes !!! Every single recipe I’ve tried … and there’s many, have been delicious!!!! Hubby loves them and my kids do as well ! This recipe was so delicious … mouthwatering and flavorful.
