My Favorite Meatloaf
(from shermantank2005’s recipe box)
I’ve cut this recipe in half since there are just two of us…and there are still leftovers for sandwiches. I also eliminated the bacon wrap, but if you like it that way, just wrap the loaf with bacon before baking.

Ingredients
- 1/2 C. milk
- 3 slices white bread
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1/2 C. grated parmesan
- 3/4 t. salt
- 1/2 t. pepper
- 1 T. parsley
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/4 C. ketchup
- 1 T. brown sugar
- 1 t. dry mustard
- Tabasco to taste
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°. Pour milk over the bread slices. Allow it to soak in for several minutes.
-
Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, salt, 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 and place on a broiler pan, which will allow the fat to drain. (Line the bottom of the pan with foil to avoid a big mess!)
-
For the sauce, put ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and hot sauce in a mixing bowl. Stir together. Pour 1/3 of the mixture over the top of the meatloaf. Spread with a spoon.
-
Bake for 45 minutes then pour another 1/3 of the sauce over the top. Bake for another 15 minutes.
-
Let rest 15 minutes. Slice and serve with remaining sauce.
