Brown Sugar Meatloaf

I'm a pork girl at heart so i substitute pork in with beef quite often. Especially in this dish. The combination of sweet and sausage just sends my heart melting.

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 lb ground beef
1 lb sausage
1 lb bacon cook and crumbled (set aside on strip before browning)
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/4 tsp pepper
1 pkg onion soup
1/4 tsp ginger
3/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 tsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp worchershire sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a loaf pan. Press 1/2 cup of brown sugar into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan and spread the 1/2 cup of ketchup over the sugar.

In a mixing bowl, mix thoroughly all remaining ingredients (minus the additional 1/2 cup of ketchup and 1/2 cup of brown sugar and remaining piece of bacon) and shape into a loaf. Place on top of the ketchup.

Top with 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of ketchup. Add the remaining piece of raw bacon over the top of the ketchup.

Cook at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until juices run clear.
