Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • ½ pound ground sausage
  • ½ pound cooked bacon cut into pieces
  • 3 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 c chopped yellow onions
  • 1 tsp salt
  • c cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 tbsp bar-b-que sauce
  • ¾ c panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large skillet, heat enough olive oil to cover the skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the garlic and onions and cook until soft. Remove skillet and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, gently fold the ground beef, sausage and bacon pieces into each other, being careful not to overmix the ingredients.
  • Add the onion mixture, bread crumbs, eggs, and cheddar cheese. Mix with your hands, but don’t overwork it. Overmixing will make the meatloaf too dense.
  • Form the meat mixture into two loaves on a well sprayed baking rack. Cover with BBQ sauce.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 60-75 minutes, or until meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
  • Remove the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 - 15 minutes before slicing.
