Pioneer Woman Meatloaf

Ingredients

§  Meatloaf:

§ 1 cup Whole Milk

§ 6 slices White Bread

§  2 pounds Ground Beef

§  1 cup (heaping) Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

§  1/4 teaspoon Seasoned Salt

§  3/4 teaspoons Salt

§  Freshly Ground Black Pepper

§  1/3 cup Minced Flat-leaf Parsley

§  4 whole Eggs, Beaten

§ 10 slices Thin/regular Bacon

§ Sauce:

§  1-1/2 cup Ketchup

§ 1/3 cup Brown Sugar

§  1 teaspoon Dry Mustard

§  Tabasco To Taste

Preparation Instructions

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.
