Ingredients

For the Sauce

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 cup chili sauce generally found in the condiment aisle at the grocery store
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, bottled is fine
  • 2 teaspoons mustard

For the Meatolaf

  • 3 slices bread
  • 2 pounds ground beef (extra lean is okay, but don't use super lean ground beef)
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley, flat leaf recommended for flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1½ teaspoons granulated onion
  • 6-7 slices bacon don't use thick sliced bacon

Instructions

For the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix together sauce ingredients. Set aside.

For the Meatloaf

  • Take the three slices of bread, stacked on top of each other, and hold them under a slow stream of tap water, moving them around to wet them. Gather the bread into a ball and gently squeeze out the excess water. This makes a moist binder for the meat.
  • In a large bowl, mix all meatloaf ingredients together, EXCEPT the bacon. I use my hands for the mixing.
  • Gather the meat mixture together and place it in a baking dish. Form into a loaf shape with a rounded top. The shape should be similar to what it would be if it was in a loaf pan.
  • Wrap the meatloaf with the bacon slices by placing the slices side by side across the meatloaf. Tuck the ends under the loaf. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, pour off any grease that has collected in the pan. Cover the meatloaf well with half of the sauce. Return to oven and bake for another 30 minutes. Pour remaining sauce over meatloaf and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow to sit for about 10 minutes before slicing.
