DIRECTIONS
!! Lindsay hint !! Don’t measure anything too closely 😉 honestly a little of this and lots of that and some of this is kinda how I do it!
- Preheat oven to 350˚.
-
Place the ground beef, ground oatmeal, 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. (Line the bottom of the pan with foil to avoid a big mess!)
-
Lay bacon slices over the top, tucking them underneath the meatloaf.
-
Make the sauce: add 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.
- Serve with mashed potatoes. Yummy!
