Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then top with parchment paper.
Spray a small skillet with cooking spray or olive oil spray and warm over medium heat.
Add onion and garlic, cook until fragrant and onions are translucent, approx 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
Add ketchup, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, red pepper flakes and paprika to a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer until slightly reduced, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Take 2 tablespoons of ketchup mixture and add it to a blender or food processor (I used my
Ninja Nutri
).
Add the chicken broth and parsley flakes to the blender and blend until smooth.
In the large bowl with the onions and garlic, add the broth mixture, eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine.
Add the ground beef to the mixture and mix well with your hands.
Transfer meatloaf mixture to prepared lined pan and form into a long "loaf", smoothing the surface.
Pour the reserved ketchup mixture over top.
Lay the bacon in a crisscross pattern over the meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath.
Bake until cooked throughout and meat is at least 165 degrees and bacon is crispy, 70–80 minutes.
Broil for 2-4 mins to crisp up bacon if needed - watch it closely!
Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
Notes
I recommend serving this meatloaf recipe with roasted vegetables, roasted potatoes and/or mashed potatoes.
