Categories     American     dinner     weeknight meals

Time 1h30m

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For Meatloaf
1 1/2 medium onions, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 c. ketchup
1/2 c. country Dijon
3/4 c. unseasoned dried breadcrumbs
3 large eggs
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 lb. 80% lean ground beef
For Topping
1/4 c. ketchup
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. brown sugar
4 to 5 slices bacon, halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Make meatloaf: Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Combine onions, pepper, ketchup, mustard, breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire, oregano, and thyme in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Gently mix in beef with your hands, being careful not to overmix. (It should be soft but hold its shape.) Transfer meat to prepared baking sheet and shape into a 10-by-5-inch loaf.
  • Make topping: Combine ketchup, Worcestershire, and brown sugar in a bowl. Brush meatloaf with 3 tablespoons topping. Place bacon crosswise over top of meatloaf and cover with remaining glaze. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake until an instant-read thermometer reaches 160°F, 35 to 40 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before serving.
