Meatloaf, Round 2

Source- The Pioneer Woman Cooks

The last time I made meatloaf it was at the request of my H.  This time I decided to make it based on the picture that Pioneer Woman posted.  It looked really good, and the recipe sounded good too.  

Ingredients
  • Meatloaf:
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 6 slices White Bread
  • 2 pounds Ground Beef (used half/half beef and turkey)
  • 1 cup (heaping) Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • ¼ teaspoons Seasoned Salt
  • ¾ teaspoons Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • ⅓ cups Minced Flat-leaf Parsley
  • 4 whole Eggs Beaten
  • 10 slices Thin/regular Bacon
  • Sauce:
  • 1-½ cup Ketchup
  • ⅓ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dry Mustard
  • Tabasco To Taste
Preparation
  • 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.
Next Time- This recipe was super moist, which I'm sure had to do with the bread/milk mixture.  I would have really preferred for the bacon to get a bit crispy.  The kind I bought was pretty fatty, so cutting the slices of meatloaf wasn't that easy.  It still tasted great, and H really liked it.   Oh, and totally follow her directions about using a broiler pan and lining it with foil.  Clean up was a breeze!
