Ingredients

  • 3 lbs lean ground beef
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 medium sweet onion diced
  • 12 oz. bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1 cup white mushrooms diced
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed and chopped
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Sauce

  • 12 oz. Sofrito
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2/3 cup Carolina Treet
  • 1 cup honey BBQ sauce

Instructions

Sauce

  • Whisk together 12 ounces of Sofrito, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 2/3 cup of Carolina Treet, and 1 cup of honey BBQ sauce. Set aside.

Meatloaf

  • Cook a 12 ounce pack of bacon. When it's done, let it sit and drip dry, then crumble and chop it all up.
  • Dice up a medium sweet onion, and sauté it with about 3 chopped cloves of fresh garlic.
  • Chop up 1 cup of white mushrooms to add in.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine 3 pounds of lean ground beef, 3 large eggs, and 2 cups of panko breadcrumbs with your already prepared mushrooms, onion, garlic, and bacon.
  • Add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and about half of the sauce you hooked up. Finish mixing everything together until blended evenly.
  • Preheat your skillet in the oven with a little olive oil at 350°.
  • When your skillet is good and hot, carefully transfer your mixture to the pan and gently form it into a nice round loaf.
  • Bake covered at 350° for about 40 minutes. Pull your meatloaf out and pour the remaining sauce over the top of it. Bake uncovered for another 20-30 minutes or until everything is nicely browned on top.
  • As soon as it comes out, top it with a generous sprinkling of more cheese (1 cup).
  • Let cool for about 10 minutes, then serve and enjoy!
