1 pound ground beef
½ pound ground pork sausage
1 sleeve crushed buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®)
⅔ cup ketchup
½ cup chopped onion
2 eggs
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
12 slices thick-cut bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) .

  • Weave strips of bacon into a basket weave pattern. Place meatloaf in the center and carefully lift and transfer to a loaf pan, so bacon is on the bottom and sides of the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Allow to sit for 5 minutes before carefully flipping onto a platter.

JO'S BACON-WRAPPED MEATLOAF

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 cups panko breadcrumbs
12 ounces whole milk
1 1/2 cups shredded Pecorino-Romano
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 large eggs, beaten
2 pasilla chile peppers, diced
1 1/2 bunches fresh Italian parsley, minced
2 pounds grass-fed ground beef
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
3 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
9 slices extra-thick applewood-smoked bacon
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Combine panko, milk, pecorino, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt, eggs, pasilla chiles and Italian parsley in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Add the ground beef and hand-mix until well blended. Set aside.
  • To make the glaze, combine ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard and hot sauce in a small mixing bowl. Stir well using a rubber spatula. Set aside.
  • Lay bacon down slightly overlapping side-by-side in a half-sheet pan. Spray a 9-by-4-inch loaf pan that's 6 inches high with nonstick spray. Place the beef mixture in the pan and pat down to form a meatloaf. Turn pan over and tap out the meatloaf into your hand. Place the meatloaf over the center of the bacon slices. Working with one slice at a time, fold ends of each bacon slice over the top of the meatloaf. Turn loaf over and place on a rack set in a baking sheet to allow the fat to drain while baking.
  • Using the rubber spatula, spread half the glaze over the meatloaf. Bake for 1 hour, then apply remaining glaze. Continue to bake until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, about another 20 minutes.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup ketchup or chili sauce
2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons cider or white vinegar
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black paper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worchestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
1/2 up milk, buttermilk or low-fat plain yogurt
2 pounds meat-loaf mix (2 parts ground chuck, 1 part ground veal, 1 part ground pork)
2/3 cups crushed saltine crackers (about 16) or quick oatmeal or 1 1/3 cups fresh bread crumbs
1/3 cup minced parsley
6 ounces thin-sliced bacon

Steps:

  • For the glaze: Mix all ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
  • For the meatloaf: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add onion and garlic, saute until softened, about 5 minutes; set aside to cool.
  • Mix eggs with thyme, salt, pepper, mustard, Worchestershire, pepper sauce, and milk or yogurt. Add egg mixture to meat in a large bowl, along with crackers, oatmeal or bread crumbs, parsley and cook onions and garlic; mix with a fork until evenly blended and meat mixture does not stick to bowl. (If mixture does stick, add additional milk, a couple tablespoons at a time, and continue stirring until mixture stops sticking.)
  • Turn meat mixture onto a work surface. With wet hands, pat mixture into a loaf approximately 9 by 5 inches.
  • Cover a wire rack with foil; prick foil in several places with a fork. Place a rack on a shallow roasting pan lined with foil for easy cleanup.
  • Set formed loaf on rack. Brush loaf with all of glaze, then arrange bacon slices, crosswise, over loaf, overlapping them slightly and tucking them under to prevent curling.
  • Bake loaf until bacon is crisp and loaf registers 160 degrees, about 1 hour. Cool for at least 20 minutes. Slice and serve

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef. For a juicy meatloaf, use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin. You can also use ground turkey or chicken for a healthier option.
  • Season the meatloaf well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the meatloaf, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese or bread crumbs for extra flavor and texture.
  • Wrap the meatloaf in bacon. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and juicy and will also add a delicious smoky flavor.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out. Cook the meatloaf at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to retain its juices and will make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its juicy, flavorful meat and crispy, smoky bacon, this meatloaf is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this bacon-wrapped meatloaf a try. You won't be disappointed!
