BBQ RANCH MEATLOAF

A friend shared this recipe from Chef In Training with me. I don't like sausage in my meatloaf so I do all beef. It works either way.

• 3 lbs. ground beef
• 1 lb. sausage
• ½ cup bread crumbs
• 3 eggs
• 1 packet dry powdered ranch mix
• ¼ cup BBQ sauce, plus more for topping after it is cooked
• ½ medium onion, chopped finely
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. garlic

1. In a large bowl, mix beef, sausage, bread crumbs, eggs, ranch packet, ¼ cup of BBQ sauce, onion, salt and garlic together by hand in large bowl.
2. Add to slow cooker and form into a loaf shape.
3. Add desired amount of BBQ sauce on top of loaf to glaze and cook on LOW for 6 hours.
4. Once cooked and ready to serve, top with more BBQ sauce if needed.
