1

Mixing It Up

In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce, 1/4 cup of chopped onion, 1/4 cup of chopped bell pepper, 1/4 cup of milk, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 beaten egg, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

2

Adding the Twist

Now, it's time to add the twist! Grab your secret weapon - 1/4 cup of finely chopped bacon. Fold in the bacon to the meat mixture and give it a good stir. This unexpected addition will take your meatloaf to the next level!

3

Shape and Bake

Transfer the meatloaf mixture onto a greased baking dish or loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf shape, making sure it's evenly spread out. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

4

Tantalizing Glaze

While the meatloaf is cooking, let's prepare a tantalizing glaze to make it even more delicious. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. When the meatloaf has about 10 minutes left to cook, brush the glaze over the top. Return to the oven and let it finish baking.

5

Let it Rest

Once the meatloaf is cooked through and the glaze is sticky and caramelized, remove it from the oven and resist the temptation to dive right in. Let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to mingle, the juices to redistribute, and makes it easier to slice.

6

Slice and Serve

Finally, it's time to dig in! Slice the meatloaf into thick, juicy portions and serve it up with your favorite side dishes. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad are all great choices. Get ready to savor every bite of this meatloaf with a twist!
