Meatloaf from Pioneer Woman
1 cup milk
6 bread slices
2lbs ground beef
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 tsp seasoned salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 to 1/2 cup minced flat-leaf parsley
4 eggs, beaten
8 to12 thin bacon slices
Tomato Gravy
1 1/2 cups ketchup
6 Tbsps brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Dash or two of hot sauce
Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pour the milk over the bread and allow it to soak for several minutes.
Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan cheese, salt, seasoned salt, black pepper, and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the 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 from the meat to drain. Line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil to avoid having to scrub later.
Lay bacon slices over the top, tucking them underneath the meatloaf.
Next, make the tomato gravy: Pour the ketchupinto a small mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar and dry mustard and splash in the hot sauce. Stir until well combined. Pour one-third of the gravy over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake for 45 minutes, then pour another one-third of the remaining gravy over the meatloaf. Bake an additional 15 minutes. Serve with the remaining gravy on the side.
