Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup whole milk
6 slices white bread
2 lbs ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 diced onion
4 beaten eggs
10 slices bacon
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Tabasco sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Pour milk over the bread slices. Allow it to soak in for several minutes.
  • Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add in your beaten eggs.
  • USE YOUR HANDS and git in there, mix it up well.
  • Form into a log. Hint: don't "smoosh" it down to tight, that just compacts the meat and tends to make for a dense er heavy meatloaf. I honest and truly believe THIS step was the defining factor in the most juiciest meatloaf I have ever eaten.
  • Lay bacon slices across the top, width wise, tucking the ends underneath the meatloaf.
  • Spread a good amount of sauce onto your loaf, leaving a little for your second application later in cooking process.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, then slather the rest of the sauce over the top.
  • Bake for 15 more minutes or so, you can raise oven temperature to 400 after the second application,.
