Ingredients
For the meatloaf:

12 potato dinner rolls
½ cup mayonnaise, (optional)
1¼ lb extra lean ground beef
1 large egg, lightly beaten
¼ cup chili sauce
¼ cup buttermilk
¼ cup Panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup sweet onion, finely minced
1 tsp barbecue seasoning, (such as McCormick's Smokehouse Maple)
½ tsp garlic salt
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp black pepper

For the tangy tomato glaze:

⅔ cup chili sauce
4 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ tsp barbecue seasoning

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a broiler pan or oven-safe grill pan liberally with cooking spray. Set aside.
Slice the potato dinner rolls in half, cover and set aside.
Mix together the ground beef, beaten egg, chili sauce, buttermilk, breadcrumbs, minced onion, and seasonings. Using your hands, mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the meatloaf mixture into 12 equal portions and form into patties approximately ¾ inches thick.
In a small mixing bowl, mix together the ingredients for the tangy tomato glaze.
Place the meatloaf patties onto the broiler pan and drizzle with ½ of the glaze.
Bake for 20-22 minutes until no pink remains and the juices run clear.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with the remaining glaze, and serve on warm potato rolls, with mayonnaise if desired.
Makes 12.
