Easy Meatloaf by Danny

Ingredients

Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 1 hour Meatloaf: 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 90% 2 eggs 1 onion, med chopped 1 cup whole milk 1 cup dried bread crumbs 1 cup (heaping) freshly grated Parmesan Cheese (or Mozzarella) 1/4 teaspoon salt freshly ground black pepper 1/3 cup minced Flat-leaf Parsley 10 slices Thin/regular Bacon (Add 1 cup of sliced mushroom is also an option.) Sauce: 1 1/2 cup Ketchup 1/2 cup Brown Sugar 1 teaspoon Dry Mustard Tabasco to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour milk over bread crumbs. Mix until no lumps.

Place the ground beef, milk/bread crumbs, cheese, 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. You can also use a lightly greased baking dish.

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 the mixture over the top of the bacon. Spread with a spoon.

Bake for one hour.
