Bourbon Glazed Meatloaf

This meatloaf itself is a moist blend of beef and pork, lightened up with fresh breadcrumbs, egg, and onion. Pretty much the basic recipe. The glaze is an intense concoction of sweet and sour, with a hit of heat and anchored by lots of smooth Bourbon. The thick bourbon glaze looks like a lot in the photos, but once you slice the meat you’ll find that it isn’t at all overpowering, and in fact I think your friends and family will appreciate a small bowl of extra glaze on the dinner table. Once you’ve tasted the sweet spicy sauce you won’t want to take a bite without it.
What you will need
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs (you can also use dried)
- 1/2 yellow onion, peeled and minced
- 1 tsp salt
- lots of fresh cracked pepper
- 1 cup fruit jam or preserves, I like to use apricot or cherry
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar (use regular brown sugar if you don’t have dark)
- 1 Tbsp hot chili sauce or Sriracha (use more if you like things hotter)
- 1/2 cup bourbon (or any kind of whiskey or cognac)
- 1/2 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
