Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ready Time: 1 hr 25 mins


• preheat oven to 400 degrees f (200 degrees c). line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• in a bowl, mix together the onion, celery, tomato paste, sloppy joe mix, bread crumbs, and egg. work in the ground beef lightly with your fingers until thoroughly combined. shape the mixture into a loaf shape, and place on the prepared baking sheet. lay bacon strips across the loaf crosswise, overlapping if necessary.
• bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then decrease temperature to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). bake until the meat loaf is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 30 more minutes. use a bulb baster to remove accumulating grease several times during baking. allow to stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
