Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375

Roast the Garlic

  1. Remove any loose papery covering on the garlic. Cut the garlic in half across the equator. Drizzle each half with olive oil. Wrap the garlic heads loosely with aluminum foil. Bake in 375 oven for 40 minutes. (You can do this in a toaster oven or while you are baking another dish a day or so before).
  2. After roasting, let the garlic cool and then using a fork, mash the garlic down to squeeze it out of the paper skin.

Put the Meatloaf together

  1. Spray a bread pan with cooking spray
  2. Put the roasted garlic in a large bowl.
  3. Add the chopped bacon, ground beef, bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder,seasoned salt, thyme, mustard, pepper, salt, steak sauce, ketchup, worcestershire and eggs to the bowl and mix very gently but completely.
  4. Put the meatloaf mix down into the prepared bread pan. Press it down so that it mashes into the corners. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  5. Bake at 375 for 55 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven, take the aluminum foil off of the pan, pour off the grease (be very careful).
  7. Place back in the oven and bake for another 20 minutes or until golden brown on the top.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  9. Turn over onto serving plate and cut into 8 slices. Top with gravy.

Notes

  • PRO TIP: Exchange a little bit of the ground beef for sausage sometime for a fantastic slight change! Wow!
  • For this recipe, make sure to have everything prepared before you start mixing it together in the bowl. Works best that way.
  • Roast the garlic up to a week before, wrap in plastic and store in the fridge (it’s great smeared on bread or crackers, just don’t eat it all before you can add it to the meatloaf!
  • It’s best to stick exactly to this recipe the first time you make this meatloaf, but feel free to change up a few things after the first time. Believe me, you’ll be making it more than once!
