3 Pounds Ground Beef 85% Lean
1 Tablespoon Poultry Seasoning
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly Ground
1 ½ Teaspoons Salt
7 Slices Bacon About 10 oz
½ Cup Barbeque Sauce Homemade or Store-Bought

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C and line a 14 ½” x 10” rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil.
Heat a 10” skillet over medium heat. Add the cooking oil and finely chopped onion. Cook the onion until it is translucent, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
2 Tablespoons Cooking Oil, 1 ½ Cups Finely Chopped Onion
In a small bowl beat together eggs, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
⅓ Cup Heavy Cream, 3 Large Eggs, 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
Put the bread in a food processor and pulse until the bread is in fine crumbs.
Alternatively, you can rub the bread with your fingertips and tear it into tiny pieces.
3 Slices White Bread
Place the ground beef in an extra-large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, poultry seasoning, black pepper, salt, and cooked onion to the ground beef. Pour the egg mixture over all and gently mix until all of the ingredients are well combined.
3 Pounds Ground Beef, 1 Tablespoon Poultry Seasoning, 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper, 1 ½ Teaspoons Salt
Gather the meatloaf mixture into a ball, place it on the prepared sheet pan, and shape it into a 9 to 10-inch oval log. Starting at the center, completely cover the meatloaf diagonally with strips of bacon. Trim the bacon with kitchen scissors as needed.
7 Slices Bacon
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from oven and brush the top and sides of the meatloaf with barbeque sauce. Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until the barbeque sauce glaze has set.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven. Serve and Enjoy!
