🌍 Origin & History
BBQ meatloaf is a Southern classic that puts a grill twist on the traditional home-style meatloaf. Instead of baking in a loaf pan, this version is shaped and smoked or grilled, getting that smoky flavor throughout. The ketchup glaze on top is where most meatloaves hide their sugar — our sugar-free version delivers the same tangy finish.
