Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground chuck
3/4 cup sour cream
1 large eggs
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/4 cup ketchup ( or chili sauce)
2 tablespoons maple syrup ( or brown sugar)
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
Directions:
(I like to microwave the chopped onion for a minute or two on High prior to mixing it into the loaf) Combine the first seven ingredients together with your hands until thoroughly mixed.
Pat the mixture into a freeform loaf-shape in a casserole dish.
Mix together the last 4 ingredients and spread over the top of the loaf, dripping a little down the sides.
Bake at 350 F for 1 hour and 15 minutes (I usually drain off the fat after 45 minutes and at the end of the cooking time).
