Ingredients

• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 3 large eggs
• 3 teaspoons salt
• ground black pepper to taste
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup diced green bell pepper
• 3 slices gluten-free bread
• 3 ½ pounds ground beef
• ⅔ cup steak sauce (such as A1®), or to taste
• 4 slices bacon, or more as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover a rack with foil and set inside a roasting pan.

Step 2

Tear bread into pieces and pulse in a blender or food processor until uniform crumbs form.

Step 3

Transfer bread crumbs to a bowl and mix with ground beef, eggs, salt, and pepper. Add milk, 2/3 cup steak sauce, onion, and bell pepper; mix to combine.

Step 4

Shape mixture into a loaf and place on the prepared rack. Cover with bacon slices and brush the top with additional steak sauce.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Allow to stand 5 minutes before slicing.
