Ingredients
- 1 small onion, minced
- 2 stalks celery, minced
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 (1.3 ounce) envelope sloppy joe seasoning mix
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 slices bacon
Method
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- In a bowl, mix together the onion, celery, tomato paste, sloppy joe mix, bread crumbs, and egg. Work in the ground beef lightly with your fingers until thoroughly combined. Shape the mixture into a loaf shape, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Lay bacon strips across the loaf crosswise, overlapping if necessary.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then decrease temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until the meat loaf is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 30 more minutes. Use a bulb baster to remove accumulating grease several times during baking. Allow to stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
