Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 slices bacon
1 stalk celery, diced
1 cup fine bread crumbs
1 cup milk
3 eggs
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
⅓ cup ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Heat remaining bacon grease over medium-high heat. Saute celery in hot grease until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Combine bread crumbs, milk, eggs, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, onion powder, and sauteed celery in a large bowl. Mix well.
  • Crumble beef and pork into egg mixture and mix together using your hands, making sure not to overmix. Form into a loaf and place into the prepared loaf pan. Place the bacon slices along the top of the loaf long-ways.
  • Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 30 minutes.
  • While the meat is cooking, combine ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, and Worcestershire for glaze in a small bowl; mix well.
  • Remove loaf from the oven and drain any fat bubbling around edges and on top. Return to the oven and continue to bake for 25 minutes more. Remove once more, drain fat again, and spoon or brush glaze mixture evenly over the top. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Return loaf to the preheated oven and continue to bake until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let sit for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound thick-cut bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Position racks in the top and bottom of the oven. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil and set cooling racks into the baking sheets.
  • Using your fingers, crumble together the brown sugar, smoked paprika and several grinds of black pepper on a plate. Dredge the bacon on both sides in the brown sugar mixture, rubbing so the sugar adheres. Arrange the slices on the racks without touching.
  • Bake until the bacon is crisp and caramelized, flipping the slices and rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through, about 20 minutes total. Let the slices cool on the racks, turning once or twice so they don't stick.

BROWN SUGAR-BACON MEATLOAF RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Brown Sugar-Bacon Meatloaf Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by carvalhohm

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise
2 t. brown sugar, packed
1 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 lb. ground pork
1 onion, finely chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped
2/3 c. dry bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1 t. Cajun seasoning
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/3 c. milk
1/2 c. barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Toss bacon slices with brown sugar; place in a skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon for 2 to 3 minutes; drain and set aside. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients except barbecue sauce. Form into a loaf and place on a lightly greased, aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Spread barbecue sauce over loaf and top with bacon slices. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for one hour to one hour and 10 minutes, until bacon is crisp and meatloaf is firm. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serves 6.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ground beef. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean, and avoid ground beef that is too finely ground, as this can make the meatloaf dry.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is the right size. The meatloaf should fill the pan without being too crowded or too loose.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out.
  • Baste the meatloaf with the glaze during cooking. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and gravy are all classic choices.

Conclusion:

Bacon and brown sugar meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. With its sweet and savory flavor, this meatloaf is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this bacon and brown sugar meatloaf a try.
