Jason Shows us how to stuff the stuffing to make BBQ meatloaf patties

Two meals that seem like they would be complicated and take hours to prepare are BBQ and meatloaf. But, if you change the meatloaf from a loaf to patties and find some store bought sauce that is actually healthy, you can combine both to make a quick and delicious meal.

I actually found the basis for this recipe years ago in one of those mega-mart mailers where they give you coupons for the ingredients. This coupon was for Stove Top Stuffing of all things, and yes, I would dump a whole box of this stale sawdust into my patty mixture. Let’s take a look at what that adds to your plate, shall we?

What in the actual you-know-what is that? If you take one thing from this series, it’s never to eat anything that makes you sound like a first grader missing their front teeth when you try to pronounce the ingredients. If I didn’t tell you that it was stuffing, it could be confused for chemicals that etch concrete floors.

Of course, that had to go when I brought this meal back into my new life. Everything a box of stuffing can do, a fourth of a cup of almond flour can do just as well. Roasted cauliflower with baby purple potatoes hit with a bit of melted cheese and all natural sugar free bacon make a great side dish, giving you high quality protein plus all the benefits of cruciferous veggies.

If you crave meatloaf and like BBQ, this is an easy go to meal that comes together quickly. Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed…as long as you leave the stuffing at the store.
