BBQ Bacon Meatloaf

Mmmm....and it makes a great leftover meatloaf burger!

Ingredients:

1.5 pounds ground beef or turkey

1/2 cup BBQ sauce, plus 4 tbsp to top meatloaf

3 tbsp worcestershire sauce

1/2 cup ketchup

1 cup shredded cheddar (I use sharp cheddar)

1 Egg

1 cup seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs

1 pound bacon

Salt and Pepper to taste

Pre-heat oven to 375.

In a large bowl whisk the egg. To the egg, add in all ingredients except bacon and the additional 4 tbsp of BBQ sauce. 

Blend mixture together with your hands until well mixed.

On a non-stick cookie sheet mold the mixture into a loaf shape. I used a Reynolds Release lined cookie sheet for easy clean up.

Top the loaf with the 4 tbsp of BBQ sauce, spread evenly.

Wrap up the meatloaf with slices of bacon.

Bake about 1 hour.

When the meatloaf is cooked through crisp up the bacon under the broiler for a few minutes, watch closely. 

I used the low setting on my broiler and kept the meatloaf about 10 inches from the broiler to prevent burning.
