Meatloaf

I know everyone has a meatloaf recipe, but I made this one last night (based on Pioneer Woman's of course) and it was so good! I only use 1lb of meat because 2lbs just makes way to much, we always have leftovers with 1lb, so it's hard to find recipes that we can use.

Meatloaf:

1 lb ground beef
1 diced onion
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 tsp dry mustard
Black pepper to taste
1/4 tsp seasoned salt - I used Lawry's
1/3 cup chopped parsley
1 tbs worcestershire
1/2 cup ketchup
6 strips bacon
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup dry seasoned breadcrumbs
1/3 cup oatmeal


You can use all breadcrumbs or all oatmeal if you'd like, but I like the flavor and texture of both together.

Sauce:

1 tbs spicy brown mustard
1/3 cup bbq sauce
1 tbs brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place the ground beef, parmesan, seasoned salt, black pepper, parsley, onion, dry mustard, worcestershire, ketchup, eggs, breadcrumbs and oatmeal into a large mixing bowl. Mix with your hands, it's easiest....even if it is messiest.

Place loaf shape on a broiler pan, adding foil to the bottom for easy cleanup.

In another bowl, add brown mustard, bbq sauce and brown sugar and stir to combine. Pour over top of loaf.

Lay bacon slices over the top, tucking them underneath the meatloaf.

Bake for 1 hour.

I served it with corn on the cobb (Ethan's favorite!), and these Green Giant Roasted Red Potatoes, Green Beans & Rosemary Butter Sauce, which was so good!
