• 1-1/2 lb ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1/2 c barbecue sauce
• 3/4 c crushed Ritz crackers
• 1 c crushed potato chips
• 3/4 tsp liquid smoke flavoring
• 3/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 3/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1 major pinch cayenne pepper
• 6 slices thick-cut bacon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375º.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, eggs, barbecue sauce, cracker crumbs, potato chips, liquid smoke, black pepper, salt, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

On a lightly greased cookie sheet, shape the mixture into a loaf. Lay bacon slices across the width of the loaf so the entire surface is covered. Cover loosely with foil.

Bake for 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 160º.
