Ingredients

• 1kg ground beef (mince)
• 1 cup (240ml) milk
• 6 slices white bread
• 1 cup (240ml) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) seasoned salt
• 3/4 teaspoon (3.75ml) salt
• 1 teaspoon (5ml) freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup (80ml) parsley, finely chopped
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 10 slices regular bacon
• 1½ cup (360ml) ketchup (tomato sauce) for the sauce
• 1/3 cup (73g) brown sugar for the sauce
• 1 teaspoon (5ml) dry mustard for the sauce
• Tabasco (or hot pepper sauce) to taste for the sauce

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C. Pour milk over the bread slices and allow it to soak in for several minutes. Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, salt, black pepper, and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Pour in beaten eggs.
Mix the ingredients until well combined. Shape mixture into a loaf on top of the aerated lifter inside the lightly greased meatloaf pan. Lay bacon slices over the top of the meatloaf mixture. Mix the following in a small mixing bowl to make the sauce - ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and hot sauce. Pour 1/3 of the sauce mixture over the top of the bacon and spread with a spoon. Place meatloaf pan in oven and bake at 180 C for 45 minutes. Then pour another 1/3 sauce over the top and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 68 degrees C.

Serving Suggestion

Once the meatloaf is cooked, remove the meatloaf pan from the heat source and let it stand for 10 minutes. Simply lift the meatloaf out of the pan using the lifter and put it on to a serving plate. Slice, serve with mashed potatoes, pour on the remaining 1/3 sauce and enjoy!
