STEP 1:

To make this meatloaf, I started by dumping some ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and onion powder into a mixing bowl.

I stirred all of the ingredients together well and set the bowl aside.

STEP 2:

I dumped two pounds of lean ground beef into a large mixing bowl.

Then I added some eggs and Italian seasoned bread crumbs to the bowl.

STEP 3:

I also added some diced onions and 1/3 cup of the prepared glaze to the bowl, along with some salt and pepper.

I used my hands to mix all of ingredients together well.

STEP 4:

I placed the meat mixture on a parchment lined baking sheet.

I used my hands to shape the meat into a loaf.

Then I brushed half of the remaining ketchup glaze on the meatloaf.

STEP 5:

I covered the meatloaf with overlapping strips of bacon.

Then I tucked the ends of the bacon strips under the meatloaf.

STEP 6:

I placed the baking sheet in the oven and baked the meatloaf for forty minutes.

After forty minutes I removed the baking sheet from the oven.

I brushed the remaining glaze over the bacon.

STEP 7:

I returned the baking sheet to the oven and continued cooking the meatloaf until it reached an internal temperature of 160F.

I removed the baking sheet from the oven and allowed the meatloaf to rest for five minutes before slicing.
