Ingredients
- 3 pounds Ground Beef (80/20)
- 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tbsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Black Peppercorns
- 4 slices Bacon
Instructions
- In large bowl, beat eggs and mix in steak Seasoning, Worcestershire sauce,
and breadcrumbs. Add beef and combine, being careful to not over mix. - Free form meat into 12" long loaf (about 2" high) shape on a sheet pan sprayed with cooking spray or lined with parchment paper. Cut bacon in half and lay on top of meatloaf.
- Crack peppercorns using a mortar and pestle. Conversely, crack peppercorns on chopping block with a heavy skillet. Sprinkle coarsely cracked pepper evenly on top of loaf.
- Bake meatloaf until cooked through, about an hour. An instant read thermometer should read at least 160 degrees when loaf is done. Let meat rest for 10 minutes before cutting to retain juices. Best served with brown gravy and weeknight mashed spuds.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
