BelikeBecci's Amazing Meatloaf

When I make Meatloaf, I want it to be chocked full of flavor and I don’t just mean some spices here and there. This makes 2 full size loafs, because we love to have it for leftovers for sandwiches or sometimes I even take one to a favorite neighbor.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Lb ground lean beef (I use organic)

1 Lb ground turkey

1 Lb ground sweet Italian Pork

1 Lb ground chicken

1 cup breadcrumbs

3 large eggs

2 Tbsp Worchestershire

4 Tbs crushed garlic

1/2 cup chopped parsley

3/4 cup whole milk

2 Tbsp Dijon mustard

4 Tbsp Tomato paste

2 tsp ground thyme

3 Tbsp seasoning salt such as Lawrys

1 medium onion finely chopped

1 Tbsp pepper

8 strips bacon cut in half

1/2 cup bbq sauce ( I use Sweet Bay Rays)

1/4 cup brown sugar

Mix together the first 16 ingredients using a huge bowl and your clean hands (which is one of the best kitchen utensils!)

Spray two standard loaf pans with non stick and divide meat mixture between them. On a diagonal, lay the strips of bacon across the top of each meat loaf. Top each with bbq sauce and sprinkle each with brown sugar.

Place loaf pans on a cookie sheet and place in preheated oven, and bake till cooked through 50 minutes to 1 hour or until met thermometer reads 165 degrees
