Comments:
Lynne makes an excellent meat loaf with a horseradish ketchup. But, it is nice to have something a bit different on occasion. This is our alternative. This makes two 8" loaves.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with mashed potatoes.
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh bread crumbs (about 2 slices of white bread)
3 to 4 tbs. whole milk
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1/2 pound Italian pork sausage, casings removed
1-1/4 cups barbecue sauce of your choice, divided
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
6 slices bacon, halved crosswise

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a broiler pan or a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Add a broiler rack to the broiler pan, if using; spray with cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, place breadcrumbs; add milk 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until lightly moistened; gently toss with a fork. Let stand for five minutes. Add beef, pork sausage, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, onion, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently combine with hands. Divide meat mixture in half. Place each portion on a prepared pan; pat each into an 8-inch loaf about one and a half inches thick. Brush each with 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce. Arrange six bacon pieces crosswise over each meatloaf.

3. Bake until a meat thermometer inserted in the center registers 160°, about 45 minutes, basting occasionally with the remaining 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving with mashed potatoes.
