Ingredients
- 1 + ¼ pounds ground beef
- 1 packed cup shredded zucchini use the large holes of a box grater
- ⅓ cup diced onion
- ⅓ cup diced jarred roasted red peppers
- 2 minced cloves garlic
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 - 7 slices bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 9x13 baking or roasting pan with foil and spray with vegetable oil.
- Add everything but the bacon to a large mixing bowl and combine well with a fork or your hands - not a spoon.
- Dump it into the pan and pack it into a loaf about 3 inches wide + 3 inches high.
- Drape the bacon in a row over it. You can trim the ends so it fits or just leave it long - it will shrink as it bakes.
- Bake 50 minutes. If the bacon isn't crisp enough turn the broiler on for about 2 minutes - keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
- Remove from the oven and let it sit 5 minutes. Use a large spatula or 2 spatulas - one on each end to move it to a platter.
- Slice into wedges to serve.
