• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup whole milk
• ½ cup finely diced yellow onion
• ⅓ cup Dillightful Dill Pickle Kansas City BBQ Sauce
• 1 tbsp certified gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 2 tsp Dillightful Beef Rub or gluten-free barbecue seasoning

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

2. 2

   Combine the gluten-free cracker crumbs and milk in a large bowl. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the eggs, onion, ⅓ cup barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon mustard, seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir until evenly combined.

4. 4

   Add the ground beef and mix gently with your hands just until incorporated. Shape into a roughly 9 × 5-inch free-form loaf on the prepared baking sheet.

5. 5

   Bake uncovered for 35 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the remaining ½ cup barbecue sauce, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon mustard for the glaze.

6. 6

   Brush half the glaze over the meatloaf and bake 15 minutes. Apply the remaining glaze and continue baking 10–20 minutes, until the center reaches 160°F.

7. 7

   Rest the meatloaf for 10 minutes before slicing.

8. 8

   For the smoker, cook at 275°F over oak, pecan or hickory. Apply the glaze when the center reaches about 135°F, then continue cooking to 160°F, about 2–2½ hours total.

9. 9

   For guests with celiac disease, verify that the crackers, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue seasoning and Dillightful BBQ Sauce are all labeled or confirmed gluten-free.
