Meat Loaf

Meat Loaf. Not the singer. The food. I made a great meatloaf tonight based on a recipe from *The Pioneer Woman.

Feel free to try it out if you like. If you do try it- post and let me know if you liked it.

For the Meatloaf
1 1/2 lb. ground hamburger

4 slices of bread

3/4 cup milk

3/4 - 1 cup Parmesan cheese (I used K*aft brand)

salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and onion powder to taste. I probably used about 1/4 tsp. of salt and 1/2 tsp. to 1 tsp. of the others

2 eggs, beaten

thin strips of bacon

1. Tear up bread and soak in milk for few minutes in a small bowl
2. Put hamburger and all other ingredients in a large bowl together
3. Pour eggs over hamburger mixture and mix together well with your hands.
4. Spray a 9 x 14 pan
5. Pour meat mixture into the pan and shape into a loaf.
6. Put sauce on meatloaf
7. Lay bacon on top of meatloaf (you can wrap it under if you like)
8. Put more sauce on bacon
9. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees F

For the sauce
1. Ketchup
2. Dry mustard
3. Light soy sauce
4. Hot Sauce
5. Worcestershire sauce
6. BBQ Sauce (K*raft original brand was used)

To make the sauce- just mix the above ingredients to taste. I used more ketchup/bbq sauce, a dash of light soy sauce, and worcestershire sauce, a few drops of hot sauce, and just about 1/2 tsp. of dry mustard.

Enjoy!
