My Favorite Meatloaf

(from SallyV’s recipe box)

I’ve cut this recipe in half since there are just two of us…and there are still leftovers for sandwiches. I also eliminated the bacon wrap, but if you like it that way, just wrap the loaf with bacon before baking.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 C. milk
  • 3 slices white bread
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1/2 C. grated parmesan
  • 3/4 t. salt
  • 1/2 t. pepper
  • 1 T. parsley
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1/4 C. ketchup
  • 1 T. brown sugar
  • 1 t. dry mustard
  • Tabasco to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Pour milk over the bread slices. Allow it to soak in for several minutes.

  2. Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Pour in beaten eggs. With clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined. Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place on a broiler pan, which will allow the fat to drain. (Line the bottom of the pan with foil to avoid a big mess!)

  3. For the sauce, put ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and hot sauce in a mixing bowl. Stir together. Pour 1/3 of the mixture over the top of the meatloaf. Spread with a spoon.

  4. Bake for 45 minutes then pour another 1/3 of the sauce over the top. Bake for another 15 minutes.

  5. Let rest 15 minutes. Slice and serve with remaining sauce.
