Barbecue sauce is a Southwestern staple, so I use it in meat loaf instead of ketchup. The buttermilk and garlic also lend a tangy flavor. Whenever I serve this, it gets rave reviews, even from those who don’t ordinarily care for meat loaf.

Very nice flavor to this recipe. It made a nice change from the onion version I regularly use. Thumbs up from the whole family!

One of the best meatloaf recipes I have ever used. Made it for my husband on his birthday. He was very impressed. I make 4 small loaves and put them on a sprayed broiler pan with water in the bottom and bake as directed. They are moist and cook in half the time.

The meatloaf is moist and easy to make. The entire family loved it. Now the family asks for meatloaf.

Out of bread crumbs, used Snyder cheese puffs finely chopped...A+

This is excellent! The reason it caught my eye is because it called for bbq sauce in the meatloaf. I love bbq sauce and gave it a try! I also rolled up some ham and cheese in the center. My husband loved it! It could call for a little more salt though.

Edinaroxy, did you post your comments to the wrong recipe? I don't see nutmeg or applesauce in either the ingredients list or the directions for "Buttermilk Meat Loaf." I made the recipe as printed and got mixed reactions from my family - some raved about the flavor, others didn't care much for it.

Yuck what a mess! The nutmeg ruins the flavor of the meatloaf. And the applesauce also a NO.
