Chef's Tips for Barbecued Onion Meat Loaves
- For the juiciest meat loaves, avoid overmixing the meat mixture – this keeps them tender
- Line your baking sheet with foil or parchment for easier cleanup
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper cooking (70°C) without overcooking
- Let the meat loaves rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices
- For extra flavor, reserve some American Garden BBQ Sauce Original to serve on the side
- Create a slight indent on top of each loaf before baking to hold more sauce
How to Store Barbecued Onion Meat Loaves?
Refrigerate leftover meat loaves in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a 175°C oven for 10 minutes. For longer storage, freeze cooked loaves wrapped in foil and stored in freezer bags for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
