Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 2-part broiler pan by lining the bottom one with foil and spraying the top one with cooking spray.

In a very large bowl, tear the bread into 1/2 inch pieces. Pour the milk over and add the eggs and beat until a wet smooth mixture forms. Add the beef, cheese and seasonings. Using your hands, squeeze and mix until everything is evenly distributed throughout.
-
Form into a loaf shape on the prepared broiler pan. Place strips of bacon crosswise and slightly overlapping on top of the loaf. Tuck ends underneath.
-
Stir catsup, brown sugar and seasonings together and spread evenly on top of the loaf. Bake for about 1 hour or until loaf tests 150 degrees F in the center using a quick-read baking thermometer.
