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.

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.
