PIONEER WOMAN FAVORITE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Pour milk over the bread slices. Allow it to soak in for several minutes.
• Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, salt, black 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 on a broiler pan, which will allow the fat to drain. (Line the bottom of the pan with foil to avoid a big mess!).
• Lay bacon slices over the top, tucking them underneath the meatloaf.
• Make the sauce. Add ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, and hot sauce in a mixing bowl. Stir together. Pour 1/3 of the mixture over the top of the bacon. Spread with a spoon.
• Bake for 45 minutes.
• Pour another 1/3 of the sauce over the top.
• Bake for another 15 minutes.
• Slice and serve with remaining sauce.
• Serve with mashed potatoes. Yummy!
