Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1/2 pound bacon
- 5 slices white bread (soaked in about 1/4-1/3 cup milk or just a little more)
- 1 yellow onions, chopped
- 1 green bell peppers, chopped
- 1 large jalapeno pepper (seeded, fine chopped)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 4 ounce tomato sauce
- 1 can (14 ounce) diced tomatoes (drained)

How to Make
-
Step 1: Cook the bacon in a skillet. Cool, chops then process in a processor until fine minced.
-
Step 2: Soak bread in a bowl of milk for several minutes.
-
Step 3: Combine beef, minced bacon, bread, onions, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper garlic, parmesan cheese, 4 ounces tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, seasoned salt, pepper and basil in large mixing bowl. Using your hands, knead the mixture and work into a loaf and place on top of a large, greased broiler pan (a pan with holes in the bottom to drain all the fat or on top of a rack fitted on a baking sheet).
-
Step 4: Bake at 350 degrees until beef is no longer pink in the center and reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
-
Step 5: Once meatloaf is done, baste with BBQ sauce and return to oven for another 10-15 minutes.
-
Step 6: Remove meatloaf from the oven, baste again and let stand for about 10 minutes before serving with remaining sauce.
