Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp butter I used Epicurean Butter's Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper Butter
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 1 tsp celery seed
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp chopped thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp chopped rosemary
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons whole grain mustard or Dijon
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup Heavy cream
  • ⅔ cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1 & 1/2 pounds ground chuck
  • ½ pound pork sausage I used seasoned breakfast sausage
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 4-5 slices bacon

For the Glaze:

  • ⅓ cup Chili Sauce
  • 3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Whole Grain Mustard

Instructions

  • In a large skillet heat the butter over medium-high heat; add the chopped onions and celery seed and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 6 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, and parsley and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, put into a large bowl and allow to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • When the vegetable mixture is cooled add the Parmesan, eggs, mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and heavy cream and mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Add the breadcrumbs, ground chuck, pork sausage, salt and pepper and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Transfer meat mixture to a large baking pan and using your hands, form mixture into a loaf shape.
  • Arrange the slices of bacon on the top of the meatloaf and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the bacon looks cooked.
  • Combine the Chili Sauce, brown sugar and whole grain mustard and slather it over the bacon; return to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For Sliders; simply cut chilled meatloaf and serve on rolls with lettuce, sliced onion, and mayonnaise.
