Margaret Dineen Prendergast

 

  • 1 C bottled barbecue sauce
  • 2 C applesauce
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 lbs. ground beef
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 C chopped onion
  • 1/4 C minced parsley
  • 1 C seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/2 lb. sliced bacon

 

Combine barbecue sauce, 1 cup applesauce, and lemon juice to make sauce. Combine remaining ingredients, except bacon. Mix thoroughly. Shape into large flat cake about 1-1/2 inches thick. Secure bacon slices around meat with toothpicks. Remaining slices make "X" on top. Pour sauce over top before baking. Bake at 400 for 45-50 minutes. Baste frequently with sauce while baking.
