Bacon BBQ Meatloaf

Ingredients 

2 lbs of ground beef

1 1/2 C Panko or oats

2 eggs

1 C bbq sauce

2 jalapeños chopped

2 T salt

2 T pepper

9 slices of bacon

2 cups of cheese(I used shredded but next time I’m using a block of cheese)

Toppings:

1 C brown sugar

Sprinkle of red pepper flakes

1 c bbq sauce

Directions

In a bowl mix your hamburger, salt, pepper, 1 cup of bbq sauce, jalapeños, eggs and panko till combined. Set it aside.

Preheat oven to 400

Take a cookie sheet and put bacon down. One right next to the other leaving no spaces. Take your meatloaf mix and put on top of bacon. Spread it out so it covers the bacon. Take your cheddar cheese and sprinkle on top.

Now the tricky part. You will now roll up the meatloaf and bacon. Take one side and make sure you got the bacon with it. Roll it up slow and tight. It’s hard so don’t get discouraged. Once it’s rolled up make sure it’s tucked.

Get a baking pan with sides and lay in a cooling rack. Spray it with non stick spray. Now gently place your meatloaf on top. Now get your brown sugar and pat it all over the bacon. Top with red pepper flakes.

Put it in the oven and bake till bacon starts to look crispy. When there is 10 minutes left take it out and cover it with 1 cup of BBQ sauce. Bake it till it’s caramelized.

Take it out of the oven and let it rest. Then carefully put it into a platter.

Eat and enjoy!
