Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Duck Butter purchase here or Mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Get-R-Smoked Smoked Paprika purchase here
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 9 ounces thin-cut bacon
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese diced
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Instructions
 

Prep:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F
  • Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan first with parchment paper and then with 2/3 of the bacon, leaving an overhang. OR line a rimmed baking sheet with baking parchment and lay 2/3 of the bacon on top if you want to bake without a pan.

Make meat mix:

  • Mix ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, duck butter and spices in a large bowl

Shape meatloaf:

  • Shape a long log with 2/3 of the meat mixture and fit it inside the loaf pan (OR on top of the bacon on the baking sheet, if baking without a loaf pan).
  • Make a crease down the middle and add the mozzarella cheese to it.
  • Cover with the remaining meat mixture.
  • Fold the bacon overhang on top and cover entirely with the remaining 1/3 of bacon. Spread with 1/3 of the barbecue sauce.

Bake:

  • Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
  • Spread with another 1/3 of the barbecue sauce.
  • Continue baking for another 20 minutes, then spread with the remaining sauce right as it comes out of the oven.
  • Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  • If you baked in a loaf pan, VERY CAREFULLY drain it before removing from the pan
