Ingredients
Meatloaf
- 2 pounds ground pork
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 green bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt or to preference
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or to preference
- 8 lices Bacon thick cut
Sauce
- ¾ cup ketchup
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce or any hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons bourbon optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add all the ingredients for the meatloaf together (except the bacon) and mix well with your hands. You can also sauté the chopped onion and pepper first to soften it a bit, but it's not necessary.
- Place the meat mixture in the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula. Cover with bacon slices, tucking in the bacon over the sides.
- In a small bowl whisk all the sauce ingredients together.
- Brush half the sauce over the meatloaf. Transfer the meatloaf to the oven and bake in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Half way through, take the meatloaf out and brush the remaining sauce over it and continue baking.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes then cut into slices and serve over mashed potatoes.

Notes
- ⅓
- You can make this pork-free by using 2 lbs of ground beef, chicken, or turkey, and turkey bacon on the outside.
- Add any veggies you'd like to load up this meatloaf and clear out your fridge. Mushrooms work fantastic in a recipe like this, as they keep the meatloaf nice and juicy.
- Bourbon can be replaced with any type of whiskey, rum, or brandy. Skip it if you want this alcohol-free.
- To make this gluten free, use ⅓ cup of potato starch, also called potato flour, in place of the breadcrumbs.
- You can also use store-bought BBQ sauce, if you wish.
- Broil the meatloaf for the last 3-5 minutes to crisp up the bacon, but watch closely so it doesn’t burn.
