Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Dry milk 5 cups
Salt 1/2 tsp
Fresh ground black pepper 1/2 tsp
Eggs 2
Yellow onions 2
Half-and-half 1 cup
Worcestershire sauce 4 tbsp
Bacon 2 slices

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325ยฐF (163ยฐC).

  2. Prepare Meat: Cut the roast into 1/4 lb pieces and trim most of the fat.

  3. Grind Meat: Using a food processor, grind the meat one piece at a time. It should be a bit coarse and not uniform.

  4. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a blender, combine dry milk, salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Pulse until the crackers are finely ground.

  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a 6-quart bowl, mix together eggs, finely chopped yellow onions, half-and-half, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.

  6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix well until fully combined. Divide the mixture evenly into two 6-quart bowls.

  7. Mix Meatloaf Mixture: Add half of the ground meat into each bowl containing the wet and dry mixture. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer until well combined.

  8. Shape and Bake: Transfer each portion of the meatloaf mixture into a greased 9×13 baking pan or dish. Shape into a loaf.

  9. Bake: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.

  10. Top with Bacon: After 45 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven. Top it with halved bacon slices.

  11. Continue Baking: Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the meatloaf is cooked through.

  12. Serve: Using two giant spatulas, carefully lift the meatloaf out of the baking pan and transfer it to a serving platter. Avoid letting it soak up its own drippings.

  13. Enjoy: While waiting for the meatloaf to cool, indulge in nibbling on the crispy bacon. Serve the meatloaf with Smoky Mashed Potatoes for a delicious meal!

This hearty and flavorful meatloaf recipe is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a weeknight dinner or a special family gathering. Enjoy the versatility of leftovers in sandwiches, pasta sauces, omelets, tacos, and more! ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿณ
