Ingredients
2 lbs. ground beef or turkey
½ cup ketchup
½ grated onion
1 cup parmesan cheese
2 eggs
½ cup brown sugar
¾ cup bread crumbs
garlic salt
lots of pepper
6-7 slices of bacon (optional)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients, except the bacon. Mush the meat mixture with your hands.
My weird way to tell if the meatloaf is ready for the oven is that I actually smell the mixture to see if it has enough seasoning. If it doesn’t smell like ground beef, you’re good to go. Shape in the form of a loaf and place in baking dish.
Smother with ketchup and drape bacon slices over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour.
