Anthony's Awesome Meatloaf

Anthony’s Awesome Meatloaf

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground round beef
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs (I use “Vigo” Italian Style)
¾ - cup ketchup
1 tsp Adobe Seasoning
½ - cup warm water
1 cup shredded cheese (Use whatever flavor you like) (Kraft has a shredded Parmesan, Mozzarella blend which is great for this recipe)
1 Pkg. Lipton's onion Soup mix

8 oz can tomato sauce
2 strips bacon


Equipment:

Large mixing bowl
A 9 x 13 x at least 2 inches high baking dish. (The baking dish needs to have higher sides to hold the juices from the meat as it cooks)


Technique:



Mixing the ingredients – In a large mixing bowl add all 8 ingredients.

You’re going to have to use your hands to mix the ingredients. Just have some paper towels handy for afterwards.


Using your clean hands mix all 8 ingredients. Just squish it all together until it combines.




After it is combined, transfer the mix to the baking dish.



Form it into an oval or oblong loaf. Cover the loaf with 2 strips of bacon.


Pour the 8oz. can of tomato sauce on top of the loaf. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. Serves 6.
