I have had the pleasure of taking the Mr Sauce products on a culinary ride the past few weeks and it has truly been a scrumptious ride! It all started with their Tomato Ketchup which I used to prepare some really amazing Chicken Drums. Followed by Worcester, Mustard, Tomato Sauce, BBQ Sauce, Sweet Chilli, Beefy Burger and Soy Sauce. It’s awesome that we have local products that are great in taste and deliver on promise- that’s important!
My last product from them to taste-drive on this their range of sauces is their Sticky BBQ Basting. I must say though, I’ve been hooked to their products, and will surely continue to use them in my cooking, provided the formula does not change! (Unless if it’s of course to change for the better 🙂 ) So basting is, in layman’s terms, applying a liquid to meat whilst it’s cooking for the purposes of keeping it nice and juicy plus to impart flavour as well. This is what the Mr Sauce Sticky BBQ Basting does.
I love how it has a great balance of smokiness and sweet. This balance adds that something to your dish, in this case this super tasty meatloaf! It’s definitely a must try. The Sticky BBQ Basting also has a great consistency- it’s not runny, neither is it too thick. It is as Goldilocks (from the popular children’s fairy tale) said, “Just right!” So go ahead and try it out and let me know how it goes with you in your kitchen in the comments below. You can serve this with a salad or steamed vegetables. Or your preferred starch such as potatoes, pasta, rice, etc together with some gravy or a sauce like some creamy mushroom sauce, yum!
Enough talking, let’s get to making this meatloaf…
Do This
- Get your ingredients together. Put all the ingredients into a bowl save for the Mr Sauce Sticky BBQ Basting. Give a good mix until well combined.
- Take a standard loaf tin and place foil paper in it, making sure it overlaps over the sides of the tin. Alternatively you may even use a casserole dish and just form the meat into a loaf shape.
- Spoon the mince mixture into the loaf tin, forming a nice compact loaf. Put in oven at bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 45 minutes.
- Take meatloaf out and spread the Mr Sauce Sticky BBQ Sauce generously on the top. Return to oven and bake for a further 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, allow the loaf to “rest” for 10 minutes before attempting to take it out. Use the overlapping foil paper to easily carry it out of the loaf tin. Enjoy!
