Number Of Ingredients 15

4 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise
2 t. brown sugar, packed
1 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 lb. ground pork
1 onion, finely chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped
2/3 c. dry bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1 t. Cajun seasoning
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/3 c. milk
1/2 c. barbecue sauce

Steps:

Toss bacon slices with brown sugar; place in a skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon for 2 to 3 minutes; drain and set aside. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients except barbecue sauce. Form into a loaf and place on a lightly greased, aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Spread barbecue sauce over loaf and top with bacon slices. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for one hour to one hour and 10 minutes, until bacon is crisp and meatloaf is firm. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serves 6.
