Pioneer Woman's Favorite Meatloaf

It's no secret that I love ALL things Pioneer Woman. This meatloaf recipe is no exception. Serve it with some mashed potatoes, corn casserole and a green salad and you've got one of my favorite meals!

Serves 8

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup Whole Milk
6 slices White Bread
2 pounds Ground Beef (I use 1 pound ground beef, 1 pound ground turkey)
1 cup (heaping) Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
3/4 teaspoons Salt
 Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1/3 cup Minced Flat-leaf Parsley
4 whole Eggs Beaten
10 slices Thin/regular Bacon
 1-1/2 cup Ketchup
1/3 cup Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Dry Mustard
3 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Pour milk over the bread slices. Allow it to soak in for several minutes.
3. Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, seasoned salt, salt, black pepper, and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Pour in beaten eggs.
4. 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!)
5. Lay bacon slices over the top, tucking them underneath the meatloaf.
6. Make the sauce: add ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire in a mixing bowl. Stir together. Pour 1/3 of the mixture over the top of the bacon. Spread with a spoon.
7. 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.
