Notes

This dish stores beautifully! Once it has cooled, cover it tightly and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions in airtight containers. Tips to enhance flavor: add chopped garlic or bell peppers to the meatloaf mixture, or a dash of hot sauce to the BBQ sauce. Customize with different vegetables or swap out the ground beef for turkey or chicken.
