Captain Thom's Bacon Ketchup Meatloaf

Ingredients

Meatloaf:

1 cup Whole Milk

6 slices White Bread

2 pounds Ground Beef

1 cup (heaping) Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

¼ teaspoons Seasoned Salt

¾ teaspoons Salt

Freshly Ground Black Pepper

⅓ cups Minced Flat-leaf Parsley

4 whole Eggs, Beaten

10 slices Thin/regular Bacon

Sauce:

1-½ cup Captain Thom's Slappin' Fat Bacon Ketchup

⅓ cups Brown Sugar

1 teaspoon Dry Mustard

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. Lay bacon slices over the top, tucking them underneath the meatloaf. Make the sauce: add Captain Thom's Slappin' Fat Bacon 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.
