Mamas Meatloaf

• Meatloaf:
• 1 cup Whole Milk
• 6 slices White Bread (Rustic or Ciabatta)
• 2 pounds Ground Beef
• 1 cup (heaping) Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 3/4 teaspoons Salt
• Freshly Ground Black Pepper
• 1/3 cup Minced Flat-leaf Parsley
• 4 whole Eggs, Beaten
• 10 slices Thin/regular Bacon
• 2-3 cloves of garlic minced
• Sauce:
• 1-1/2 cup Ketchup
• 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dry Mustard
• Tabasco To Taste
• Worchester (add a teaspoon during cooking)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour milk over the bread slices. Allow it to soak in for several minutes (until milk is gone).
2. Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, garlic, salt, black pepper, and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Pour in beaten eggs.
3. Mix the ingredients with hands until well combined. Form the mixture into a loaf shape on a broiler pan, which will allow the fat to drain.
4. Lay bacon slices over the top, tucking them underneath the meatloaf.
5. 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.
6. Bake for 45 minutes, then pour another 1/3 of the sauce over the top plus dashes of Worschester. Bake for another 15 minutes. Slice and serve with remaining sauce.
