This BBQ Ranch meatloaf recipe was inspired by my partnership with Naturally Fresh® Brand. All opinions are my own.

I’ve been working on having the best meatloaf recipe for the last year or so, and it just keeps getting better and better.  With my latest tweak, I think I may have nailed it. I mean look at this… does it not get you drooling?

The magic in my latest tweak comes from Peppercorn Ranch Dressing, a primo quality home-style salad dressing with no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. (They make dips too!)

(Note: You could also use Naturally Fresh® Brand Ranch or Lite Ranch in the recipe.)

It’s completely different from the bottled dressings you might be used to (and believe me, you can taste the difference) because it does not have:

~Artificial thickeners to make up texture that should come from real ingredients.
~Monosodium glutamate (MSG), an artificial flavor enhancer.
~Artificial preservatives.
~Artificial colors or flavors.

So you can imagine how that home-style better-for-you goodness turns things up a notch in my BBQ ranch meatloaf recipe (aka best meatloaf recipe evah!)
