How to cook deliciously - BBQ-Bacon Meatloaf

1 . Stage

Place bacon slices in the freezer until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.

2 . Stage

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

3 . Stage

Combine ground beef, milk, oats, Colby-Jack cheese, onion, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, eggs, garlic pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl.

4 . Stage

Remove bacon from the freezer and dice; add to the beef mixture. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly; I like to use a potato masher. Transfer into the prepared baking dish and form the top into a loaf. Evenly cover the top of the loaf with remaining barbecue sauce.

5 . Stage

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
