Meatloaf

Eeryone liked it!! I had to cook it longer than 1 hour but it could have been the shape of my loaf??!?!


Pioneer Womans Meatloaf


Ingredients:

1 cup milk

6 bread slices (I used whole grain)

2 pounds ground beef

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt

ground black pepper to taste

1/4 cup minced parsley

4 eggs

8 to 12 thin bacon slices

Sauce...

1 1/2 cups ketchup

6 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon dry mustard

couple dashes of hot sauce



Directions:

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees

- Place the bread slices in a bowl and pour 1 cup milk over the top. Let it soak in for a few minutes.

-Put the ground beef, milky bread, cheese, salt, seasoned salt, pepper, parsley, and beat eggs into a large mixing bowl. Now combine everything together using your hands. You will find everything combines nicely.

-Next, form into into a "loaf" and place on a broiler pan. By using a broiler pan, the fat will just drip to the bottom pan. For easy clean up, put some tinfoil on the bottom pan. Then just wrap bacon around the loaf and tuck the ends under the loaf.

-Now it is time to make the sauce that will cover the top. In a small bowl add the ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, and a couple dashes of hot sauce. If you like it hotter you can add more hot sauce. Mix it all together well.

-Pour 1/3 of the sauce over the meatloaf.

-Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

-Take it out and pour another 1/3 of the sauce over the top again. Put it back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until done.
