Just Like Pioneer Woman's Meatloaf Recipe
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 2-part broiler pan by lining the bottom one with foil and spraying the top one with cooking spray.
-
In a very large bowl, tear the bread into 1/2 inch pieces. Pour the milk over and add the eggs and beat until a wet smooth mixture forms. Add the beef, cheese and seasonings. Using your hands, squeeze and mix until everything is evenly distributed throughout.
-
Form into a loaf shape on the prepared broiler pan. Place strips of bacon crosswise and slightly overlapping on top of the loaf. Tuck ends underneath.
-
Stir catsup, brown sugar and seasonings together and spread evenly on top of the loaf. Bake for about 1 hour or until loaf tests 150 degrees F in the center using a quick-read baking thermometer.

Meatloaf is a family staple meal that's suited for families with children. I'd have to make this when I visit my mom. Love the spicy tobasco sauce and the crispy bacon that's giving this classic dinner an edge.

This looks good to me. My family isn't big on meatloaf but I could portion this out and freeze some of it for future meals. The addition of bacon just may intrigue the guys in my house enough to give it a try. I'd leave out the tabasco sauce as I can't tolerate spiciness.

This is a great meatloaf. My family loves meatloaf. I think they would eat it everyday if they could. I decided to try this, instead of my traditional meatloaf. This was a hit. They loved it! I did omit the hot sauce, because I don't really keep that on hand, but I did some ground red pepper. With a salad, some mashed potatoes, and green beans, this was an easy complete meal that we all enjoyed!

I love the Poineer woman. I watch her show all the time. She has kids around the same age as mine and I often make the recipes I see her cook. This one looks especially nice. I am a believer of adding in bread to ground beef. It gives it another dimension and always tastes good. I also always add chopped onions. This recipe doesn't but when I make it I am going to add them.
