You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don’t think twice, it’s all right"

BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf

I made this last night, it was the best meatloaf I've ever made!

BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf
1 package bacon
1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/3 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Cajun seasonings
1 heaping tablespoon spicy brown mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup whole milk
3/4 cup cup barbecue sauce (reserve half)
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and fold up edges making a dam to catch the drippings/fat.

In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients but with only half of BBQ sauce

With your super duper clean hands, mix until combined and then form into a 9x5 loaf.

Top with remaining BBQ sauce and then wrap with the bacon

Tent for with foil and cook for 20 - 30 minutes (to prevent the bacon from burning). Remove and cook for the remaining 30 - 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest at least 10 minutes, Slice and enjoy

*sigh*

It's amazing how one unexpected fat-shaming comment can transport me back to my teenage years, completely insecure and thinking everyone is making fun of me as I walk down the street

It's Fuck This Shit O'Clock!

Pass the bottle!
