This moist and flavorful meatloaf is a recipe that was passed on from my sister who lives in the southwest of the states. With a smoky flavor and slight kick from the smoked paprika, this moist sausage meatloaf is paired with a delicious homemade barbeque sauce for a dinner win! You may enjoy this sausage meatloaf with smoky crockpot creamed corn and Amish style mashed potatoes. For dessert you may like the Reese’s peanut butter skillet cookie or Amish coconut cream pie.

Note*
I personally keep my meatloaf uncovered to bake, but if you don’t like the top of the meatloaf drying out at all, you can cover the meatloaf in aluminum foil to bake using the directions in the notes section, in the recipe card.
Step 3-4: Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. Remove from the oven and pour the sauce over top, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the glaze has a nice shine and the meatloaf reaches 160 degrees. Allow to cool slightly, then enjoy!
We enjoyed our meatloaf with creamed corn and Amish style mashed potatoes with browned butter over top. Yum!
