Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs
⅔ cup breadcrumbs
Salt, pepper and smoked paprika, to taste
9 ounces bacon slices
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, chopped
½ cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 320° Fahrenheit. Mix ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs and spices in a large bowl. Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan first with parchment paper and then with ⅔ of the bacon, leaving an overhang. Shape a long log with ⅔ of the meat mixture and fit it inside the loaf pan. Make a groove in the middle and add the mozzarella cheese to it. Cover with the remaining meat mixture. Fold the bacon overhang on top and cover entirely with the remaining ⅓ of bacon. Spread with ⅓ of the barbecue sauce. Bake in the middle of the preheated for 40 minutes. Spread with another ⅓ of the barbecue sauce. Continue baking for another 20 minutes, spread with the remaining sauce and serve hot.
