Lunch: Upside Down BBQ Meatloaf

Recipe by Chef John See how to make a super-quick and easy meatloaf.

Ingredients

1 3/4 pounds very cold ground beef
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup barbeque sauce (such as SFQ®), or to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Mix ground beef, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, celery salt, chipotle chile powder, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl with your hands.
Stir breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce into meat mixture until thoroughly combined; form into a loaf shape.
Spread barbeque sauce out into the bottom of a loaf pan; place meatloaf on top of barbeque sauce and press into pan.
Bake meatloaf in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Drain the fat from the loaf pan and invert pan over a plate to transfer meatloaf. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
