Prep Time20 minsCook Time55 minsTotal Time1 hr 15 mins
 1 ¼ lbs ground chuck
 1 cup garlic and herb breadcrumbs
 ½ cup sweet onion, small chopped
 ½ cup whole milk
 1 large egg, beaten
 2 tbsp ketchup
 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
 1 tbsp Bayou Sam's Counter Seasoning
 2 tsp garlic powder
 1 tsp dried parsley
 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
Bar Nothing Topping
 ½ cup ketchup
 3 tbsp light brown sugar, packed
 2 tbsp Steen's Pure Cane Vinegar
 2 tsp Olivier 25 Year Aged Balsamic Vinegar
1

Preheat oven to 350°.

2

In a large bowl, add the beef, bread crumbs, onion, milk, egg, 2 tablespoons ketchup, worcestershire sauce, parsley, Counter Seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper. Use your hands to just combine, do not over mix.

3

Line a loafpan with parchment paper up and over the sides. (I tear off about double and set it on top of the pan, then add the meat and form it down in the pan, trimming off anything over a couple inches above the pan).

4

Add the meat mixture to lined loaf pan. Pat the meat down into an even layer. And push down around the edges.

5

In a small bowl, add Topping ketchup, the brown sugar, and vinegars. Whisk to combine well. Pour most of the sauce over the top of the sauce, shake and tilt to cover evenly. Top with remaining sauce.

6

(Think about doubling the sauce, simmering 1/2 until thickened and serving on the side).

7

Bake uncovered for 55 minutes / 165° internal. Pull and let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
