So here is my first attempt at meatloaf… It turned out okay, but not quite up to my standards. I think I used too much of something (the first culprit being red onion). I guess you win some and you lose some, but no one really loses when bacon is involved.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs of ground beef
- 1/2 red onion (diced) – I’d cut this down to about 1/4 of an onion
- 4 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup (or so) of ketchup
- 4 slices of bacon (more or less if you please)
- seasoned salt
- pepper
- italian seasoning
- paprika
- ground ginger
Mix the ground beef together with all of the above ingredients (excluding the bacon of course). Another flaw is that I think I used too much seasoning and covered up a lot of the beef flavor – so less might be more in this case (or maybe I should try measuring things out…not!). Top with the bacon and put in a 350 – 375 degree oven for 45 minutes.
