Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs of lean ground beef
  • 1 1/2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup of quick minute oats
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 teaspoons of minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of liquid smoke
  • 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard
  • ½ cup of tomato sauce
  • 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the BBQ sauce. Pat out 8 mini rectangular loaves and place on a greased baking sheet. Drizzle BBQ sauce on top of each one. Bake for 25-28 minutes.

Notes

Want to make it with ground turkey? It's an easy swap! Since turkey is naturally leaner and milder in flavor, you'll want to be a little more generous with the seasonings to give it the same rich, savory taste. Don't worry about measuring every extra pinch perfectly; ground turkey is very forgiving, so feel free to season it to your taste. A little extra minced garlic, onion powder, liquid smoke, and BBQ sauce can make all the difference. The result is still a moist, delicious meatloaf with plenty of flavor.
