Damn Good Meatloaf

Try it and you'll agree.
Serves 6-8 people.

one pound ground beef
one pound ground pork (or you can use sausage)
one egg, slightly beaten
two tablespoons milk
a large handful of breadcrumbs or quick-cooking oatmeal
medium onion, diced
one clove of garlic, minced
one half-cup Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce, plus more for the top (trust me on this one)

Mix together all ingredients in a large bowl with your hands. Shape into a loaf on a broiler pan or place in a loaf pan. Add more barbecue sauce to the top (I like to squeeze it on in a clever design or phrase because condiment art is always in style). Bake in a preheated oven at 375 for about an hour, until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. Let it rest a few minutes before serving. Delicious with mashed potatoes.
