Ingredients

• spicy brown sugar dry rub:
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1/2 green pepper, deseeded and chopped
• 1/2 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 7-10 slices bacon
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375º F.

Add ground beef, green pepper, onion, garlic, worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, egg, and oats to a large bowl. Mix together until well combined.

Shape meat into a rectangular shaped loaf and place on a broil pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray or lightly greased with olive oil for easy cleanup.

Spread ketchup on top of loaf and place bacon slices on top, tucking edges underneath. Sprinkle liberally with 2 Tbsp spicy brown sugar dry rub. Bake for 1 hour, until internal temperature registers 155º F - 165º F, based on your preference.

Remove from oven and allow to rest about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
