Pioneer Woman Favorite Meatloaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

MEATLOAF
1 cup whole milk
6 slices white bread
2 lbs ground beef
1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
3/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup flat leaf parsley, minced
4 whole eggs, beaten
10 slices bacon, thin
SAUCE
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Tabasco sauce

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pour milk over the bread slices. Allow it to soak in for several minutes.
Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan cheese, 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, dry 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.
Pour another 1/3 of the sauce over the top.
Bake for another 15 minutes.
Slice and serve with remaining sauce.
Serve with mashed potatoes. Yummy!
