Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bacon, eggs, Parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, and heavy cream.
Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated, but don’t overmix.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it evenly.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, top with a layer of crispy bacon slices before baking.
Use a mix of ground beef and ground pork for a richer taste.
For a firmer texture, refrigerate the meatloaf for 30 minutes before baking.
