Ingredients

  • 3 pounds ground beef
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups onions, chopped
  • 1 cup whole, divided
  • 1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 5-6 soft boiled eggs
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup sweet barbeque sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large non-stick pan heat oil over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Add chopped onions and cook for 5-7 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine beef, eggs, onion, garlic, crackers (or bread crumbs), salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Add in half of the milk and mix. The amount of milk may vary. The texture should be soft, but not runny. Add more as needed.
  • In a greased loaf pan, add a 1-inch layer of the meat mixture. Place the eggs in a neat row in the center.
  • Add the remaining meat mixture on top of the eggs, carefully sealing all edges and pressing the meat in tightly.
  • In a separate bowl, combine ketchup and barbeque sauce. Mix well and spread over the top of the meatloaf.
  • Bake for 1 hour. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before cutting.
