- 1 lb ground beef (85% preferred)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp dry thyme
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/2 tbsp mustard
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Method
- Preheat oven on 350F
- Saute onions in butter until soft.
- Whisk eggs in a large bowl.
- Add dry spices, ketchup, onions and cheese.
- Mix.
- Crumble ground beef in bowl.
- Sprinkle with bread crumbs.
- Mix GENTLY to incorporate all ingredients.
- (mixing aggressively or squeezing and squishing will give you an end result of tough meat.)
- The mixture will feel fairly wet but should still hold together.
- Only add more bread crumbs if it doesn't hold.
- Put mixture in a baking dish.
- Form into a loaf.
- (Your dish should be larger than you loaf so it isn't drowning in grease)
- Lay slices of bacon across top of loaf until it is completely covered.
- Bake at 350F for 45 min.
- If your bacon is not fully crisp at this point then turn oven to broil for a few minutes until crispy.
- While your loaf is cooking mix all glaze ingredients in small bowl.
- Slather the glaze on top of crispy bacon and cook at 350 for about 5-10 minutes until hot.
- You can sprinkle a little cheese on top for garnish.
- Transfer loaf to cutting board removing any fat that has accumulated on bottom of loaf.
- Slice and enjoy.
