Ingredients
- ■Meatloaf:
- ■1 cup Whole Milk
- ■6 slices White Bread
- ■2 pounds Ground Beef
- ■1 cup (heaping) Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
- ■1/4 teaspoons Seasoned Salt
- ■3/4 teaspoons Salt
- ■Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- ■⅓ cups Minced Flat-leaf Parsley
- ■4 whole Eggs Beaten
- ■10 slices Thin/regular Bacon
- ■Sauce:
- ■1-1/2 cup Ketchup
- ■⅓ cups Brown Sugar
- ■1 teaspoon Dry Mustard
- ■Tabasco To Taste
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour milk over the bread slices. Allow it to soak in for several minutes.
-
Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, seasoned salt, salt, black pepper, and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Pour in beaten eggs.
-
With clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined. Form the mixture into a loaf shape on a broiler pan, which will allow the fat to drain. (Line the bottom of the pan with foil to avoid a big mess!)
-
Lay bacon slices over the top, tucking them underneath the meatloaf.
-
Make the sauce: add ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and hot sauce in a mixing bowl. Stir together. Pour 1/3 of the mixture over the top of the bacon. Spread with a spoon.
-
Bake for 45 minutes, then pour another 1/3 of the sauce over the top. Bake for another 15 minutes. Slice and serve with remaining sauce.
