Best. Meatloaf. Ever. – The Pioneer Woman Cooks
By popular request, I had to post this Recipe for perfectly amazing Meatloaf I prepared from The Pioneer Woman Cooks Cookbook. My Sister doesn’t eat Meatloaf and LOVED it, my Husband said it was the best he had ever had, and of course, being the Meatloaf fan that I am… I adored this flavorful + simple + moist Meatloaf Recipe. This fabulous Meatloaf Recipe will definitely be a new item in our dinner rotation thanks to the Accidental Country Girl, Ree Drummond.

My Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf Prepared from The Pioneer Woman Recipe
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour milk over the bread slices. Allow it to soak in for several minutes.
Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, 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, 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, then 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!
