Notes

I used smoked streaky bacon.
You can prepare the sauce standalone to use with other dishes.
I used Thermobextas *amazing* tomato sauce recipe for my sauce, in which I substitute the raw honey with coconut sugar πŸ™‚
This is loosely inspired by the Womans Weekly BBQ Meatloaf.

  1. Oh… my… god… that sauce! It is so freaking good! I used cocoa powder as didnt have instant coffee, seriously delish. I did have to cook it for a lot longer to thicken it, but that may be because i have a bellini intelli, not a thermo. Make a quadruple batch and just put it all over EVERYTHING! Also thanks for pointing me in the firection of that tomato sauce recipe. Its a winner!

  2. Delicious! I never thought meatloaf would be served at our table but this will be again and again and again!

  3. Another smashing recipe!!! Even the uber fussy 4 year old smashed a massive serving & asked for seconds! Will be a regular in our house πŸ™‚

  4. Absolutely beautiful. I made mine early in the day then cooked on the oven that night and it was wonderful, the whole family loved it. The leftovers the next day were great too πŸ™‚

  5. Made the Smokey BBQ sauce for our burgers tonight. One smell of it and I made another batch. It smells & tastes devine, thank you

  6. Yum! I’ve never been a meatloaf fan, but this is great, nice and moist. Easy to make. Thanks Nik and the Skinny Team

  7. Another delicious dish Nikalene! Very flavoursome and much easier than I thought it would be to make. Youngest son (7) who we have to plead with to eat meat has requested it for dinner “every night this week” Thank you for another fabulous recipe x

  8. This was so yummy!!! I served with heaps of veggies and I loved it. Can’t say the same for the kids in the house but that just meant I got their left overs the next day! They are fussy eaters so I would not put it down the taste, I’m still breaking them into new foods!!

  9. Really loved this. I made two small ones, so one is in the freezer ready to steam for a fuss free meal next week. A great tasty kid friendly meal made even better when you steam some veg at the same time!

  10. Delicious!! So easy to make I added both a zucchini and a carrot and it was lovely and moist…I actually cooked it in the oven instead of the varoma as I couldn’t find my varoma lid. Turned out fabulous!
    Thanks for another great recipe!

  11. AMAZING Sooo delish
    Absolute winter winner in our house and can see us having it with salad in summer!! Thankyou yet again Nik x

  12. I didn’t make the meatloaf but made the BBQ sauce and it is the best I have ever made. After completing the first lot I immediately made another double batch. Thanks for sharing.

  13. My family LOVED this, even I enjoyed every bit and I don’t usually like meatloaf. The bacon made it delicious! And that BBQ sauce was delicious! So much flavor. I didn’t add the coffee (because I didn’t have any left in the cupboard, oops) but it was still a sauce I felt like drinking, it tasted that good!

  14. Made this the other night and it turned out exactly as the picture shows! I was very impressed with how easy the recipe was for a visually impressive dish. The sauce is particularly yummy and everyone went back for seconds or thirds to pour over the veggies. Left overs of both reheated very nicely the following day for lunch.

  15. Yum yum! So good. Everyone loved it. I prepped it up to just before cooking earlier in the day so made it even easier.
