Categories     Dinner

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley ((or 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes))
½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves ((or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme))
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 lbs. ground beef ((I use 85% lean))
½ cup plain dry breadcrumbs
⅓ cup milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
6 slices center-cut bacon (not thick-cut)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent (about 7-10 minutes). Remove from the heat and stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, use a fork to gently combine the ground beef, onion mixture, breadcrumbs, milk and eggs.
  • Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into oval balls. Wrap each ball with one strip of bacon.
  • Arrange bacon-wrapped meatloaves on a parchment-lined or foil-lined rimmed baking sheet that has been lightly coated with nonstick spray.
  • In a small bowl, stir together ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar. Brush a light coating of the ketchup mixture on top of each meatloaf, reserving extra glaze for later.
  • Bake until the fat from the bacon has rendered, about 20 minutes.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 425°F. Brush meatloaves with remaining ketchup mixture. Continue to bake until the meatloaves are cooked through and the bacon is crisp, about 15 more minutes. If using an instant-read thermometer, the meatloaves should reach an internal temperature of 155-160°F. Serve hot.

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

1/3 cup minced parsley
6 ounces thin-sliced bacon

Steps:

This is a fantastic recipe to make ahead of time and have frozen, just to use at your convenience!! The addition of grated carrot to the mixture is a smart way to work veggies into the meal, while the bacon helps keep the patties moist while frozen.

1/2 lb extra lean ground turkey
1 egg, lightly beaten

Categories     Meatloaf

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 1 inch thick slices, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground beef
2 eggs
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
37 saltine crackers, crushed
1 lb bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl mix ground beef, eggs, diced onions, ketchup, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mixing with your hands is best. Mix it real well.
  • Crush the crackers. I always crush the crackers while still in their sleeve.
  • Pour crushed crackers into beef. Mix the crackers into the beef mixture well.
  • Form into a loaf shape and set to the side.
  • Take the bacon and divide it into even amount.
  • Take 1 half of the bacon and lay side by side long ways.
  • Fold every other bacon strip in half.
  • Lay 1 of the other half of the reserved bacon strips across.
  • Unfold the half folded bacon strip.
  • Fold the other every other bacon strips that were not folded in the previous step.
  • Lay a slice of bacon across and then unfold.
  • Repeat until you run out of room.
  • Start on the other half of the bacon strip until you have made a weave.
  • Pace the loaf shaped beef mixture into the center on your bacon weave.
  • Wap the weave around the beef loaf shaped mixture.
  • Flip the bacon wrapped meat loaf upside down,making the ends of the bacon tuck under the loaf.
  • Place the loaf in the center of the oven on a cookie sheet.
  • It takes about an hour to cook.
  • To make sure it is cooked all the way through, I sometimes use a meat thermometer but that isn't really needed. Sometimes I leave it in for 15 more minutes if I am worried it isn't cooked all the way.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Meat: Use a ground meat blend that has a good balance of fat and lean meat. This will help keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Use a variety of herbs and spices to give the meatloaf plenty of flavor.
  • Wrap it Tight: Wrap the meatloaf tightly in bacon. This will help keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Cook to Perfection: Cook the meatloaf until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). This will ensure that the meatloaf is cooked through without overcooking it.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped mini meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give bacon-wrapped mini meatloaf a try!
