The Best Meatloaf Ever

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, grated in a cheese grater
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 cup parsley
• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 lbs ground beef
• 6 slices thin bacon

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then parchment paper.
3. Heat oil over medium in a small skillet. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until very soft, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
4. Meanwhile, bring ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, and cayenne to a boil in a small saucepan, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced and syrupy, about 5 minutes.
5. Transfer 2 tablespoons ketchup mixture to a blender; add broth and parsley and blend until smooth. Set remaining ketchup mixture aside.
6. Add broth mixture, eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt, and pepper to onion and garlic; mix to combine.
7. Add beef and mix well with your hands to combine.
8. Transfer meatloaf mixture to prepared pan and form into a long log (about 12"x5"), smoothing surface.
9. Spread reserved ketchup mixture over top and drape bacon in a crisscross pattern over loaf, tucking underneath.
10. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 165u0b0 and bacon is crisp, 70-80 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
