To me meatloaf is the ultimate comfort food so when I was craving a hearty meatloaf dinner the other night I set out to create a version that was traditional with a little something different. So this version has all my favorite ingredients- bacon, pork, cheddar cheese, sauteed onion and mushrooms, and of course spicy BBQ sauce! Does it seriously get any better than that?! Don’t forget if you have leftovers this meatloaf makes a tasty meatloaf sandwich the next day!

Barbecue Bacon Meatloaf

4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1/2 large yellow onion Vadalia, diced
  • 4 oz mushrooms diced
  • 1 garlic clove pressed or diced
  • 1 tbs Worcestershire
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 3 slices uncooked bacon chopped
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • salt/pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Heat a saute pan over medium and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add diced onions and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
  • Add garlic clove and mushrooms, along with more olive oil if needed. Saute for another 5-10 minutes until it's darkened and softened then add salt and cracked black pepper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together ground pork, chopped bacon, onion mixture, shredded cheese, beaten egg, panko, Worcestershire, and 1/4 cup BBQ sauce.
  • Form into a large loaf and place in a large greased baking dish.
  • Spread the top with remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce.
  • Bake for an hour then remove from the oven, slice and serve warm.

Notes

Delicious with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. Also leftover meatloaf sandwiches for the next night's dinner are my idea of a perfect meal 🙂

Sauté sweet onions in olive oil then add garlic and chopped mushrooms.

Cook the onions and mushrooms until softened and dark. 

 When you add softened onions and mushrooms to the meat mixture they not only add a delicious flavor and texture they also keep your meatloaf moist!

We are a barbecue lovin’ family! Our fridge is always stocked with at least three different BBQ sauces.

Use your favorite for this recipe. I used the Jack Daniel’s Spicy BBQ for a nice kick to go with the sweet onion and savory bacon.

 
Mix together pork, bacon, cheese, onion mixture, and all the other toppings
 to create your meatloaf mixture.
 

Form into a large loaf and place in a baking dish.

Spread the remaining BBQ sauce on top of the meatloaf then bake for about an hour.

Bubbly and delicious, right out of the oven!

Slice and serve warm with mashed potatoes or I like creamed cauliflower. 

The BBQ Sauce forms a flavorful crust while the inside is moist and savory! 

Try this meatloaf today- you won’t be sorry!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
➡️ Swipe to see what I left with..... Bang Bang Shrimp, of course!🦐 #winnwa #smallbusinessowner #workfromhome #bloggerlife #arkansasblogger #nwarkansas #bonefishgrill #networking
