Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onions and sauté 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned; let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine sautéed onions with all ingredients from ground beef through hot sauce, plus 2 tablespoons ketchup.
Using your hands, mix until thoroughly combined.
Transfer beef mixture onto a large baking sheet lightly greased with canola oil or cooking spray.
Shape into an oval mound and lay bacon slices over the top so that they crisscross.
Wash your hands, then brush remaining 4 tablespoons ketchup over bacon and meatloaf.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until browned on top and cooked through. (A thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meatloaf should read 160 to 165F. If you don’t have a thermometer, insert a knife into the thickest part to ensure meat is no longer pink.)
