Magda's Bacon Topped Meatloaf

Ingredients 

  • 2 slices bread
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 onion, finely grated
  • 1/2 carrot, finely grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, or 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup roasted red pepper, chopped
  • 1 1/2 pounds extra lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon barbeque sauce

Instructions

  • Shred the bread slices with your hands and soak in milk.
  • Finely grate the carrots and onion and finely mince the garlic and the roasted red pepper.
  • Combine the meat, vegetables, seasonings, spices, eggs, mayonnaise, mustard and 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce, reserving 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce. (I find it easiest to mix the meat mixture well with my hands.)
  • Add the soaked bread. Mix well.
  • Shape the meatloaf on a pan or in individual muffin tin size portions.
