Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf
I know meatloaf isn’t the most popular choice when it comes to dinner, but my family loves a good meatloaf. This Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf has plenty of flavor, thanks to the addition of bacon wrapping itself around a good meatloaf base.
How to Make Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf:
First, you’ll line a loaf pan with bacon slices. I like to use center cut bacon to minimize the fat a little bit.
Next, you’ll put the meatloaf mixture into the pan– right on top of the bacon. This meatloaf has a base of ground beef. There are eggs, ketchup, steak sauce and some veggies in the meatloaf mix. Oats are mixed in too, which absorb some of the moisture and assist in allowing the meatloaf to keep its loaf form.
The bacon is then folded over the meat mixture, and it’s ready for the oven. It’ll bake for about 45 minutes or so. Once it comes out of the oven, you’ll have one extra step in finishing off the meatloaf. Turn it out onto a rimmed baking sheet (I line mine with foil to minimize clean-up). Place it under the broiler until the bacon is crisp. Then it’s ready to eat!
You’ll get 8 slices out of this Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf.
My family enjoys this one because you get a bite of crispy bacon with each bite of meatloaf! If you’re a lover of bacon, you might also like to try my Bacon Burgers with Balsamic Caramelized Onions or this Candied Bacon. Maple Bacon Sugar Cookies, Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots and Bacon Cinnamon Rolls are also great bacon-themed recipes!
