BACON WRAPPED MEATLOAVES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Put the bread in a large bowl and pour the milk over. Let soak a few minutes, then squeeze through your fingers to combine. Add the egg, onion, parsley, dry mustard, caraway and coriander and mix well. Add the ground beef, ground pork, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper. Mix well with your hands to combine.
- In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, steak sauce, mustard and brown sugar.
- Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form into balls. Wrap each ball with 1 strip of bacon. Place, without touching, on a rimmed baking sheet or in a large braiser. Brush with a light coating of the glaze. Bake until the fat from the bacon has rendered, about 20 minutes.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
- Brush the meatloaves with the remaining glaze. Continue to bake until the meatloaves are cooked through, the bacon is crisp and the glaze is shiny, 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove to a platter or plates to serve, leaving the drippings behind. (Save drippings for the Cheesy Mashed Potatoes & Gravy.)
BACON MINI MEATLOAVES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery until beginning to soften. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Turn off heat, then add tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until evenly combined.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, and cooked vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
- Using your hands, shape 6 patties, about 4" wide, to make mini meatloaves. Place on baking sheet, then wrap each patty with a strip of bacon.
- Whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Spoon the ketchup glaze onto each mini meatloaf.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until the bacon and meat are cooked through. (The bacon won't get super-crispy, but it will still be delish!)
- Serve warm, preferably alongside mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- I start by sauteing my onion and garlic in a pan with some olive oil until soft.
- I add the cooked onion and garlic to my meat mixture.
- Mix everything in a bowl together except the bacon.
- Don't over mix.
- Now form your lovely packages into 5" long loaves. Cut bacon slices to drape over each loaf. About 4 half slices for each little mini meatloaf. Pack them tightly on the meat to keep them moist.
- I bake them on a rack over a cookie sheet to catch the drippings. Less mess this way.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 35-45 minutes. Temperature should reach 160.
- Let rest about 10 minutes on cutting board before slicing, otherwise the slices will fall apart. Let the juices redistribute and solidify.

Steps:
- In a bowl, mix the meat with onion, garlic, ground black pepper, taco seasoning mix, ketchup, Worcestershire and beaten eggs.
- Add bread crumbs and mix well. (You will need to use your hands and knead it up well). Roll the meat into 12 mini-loaves that fit into your mini-loaves baking pan, (or use a shallow baking tray with a rack to drain the grease from the bacon).
- MY NOTE: I partially cooked the bacon slices separately in a skillet and drained all the excess of fat, (or add the bacon cut in pieces into the meat, if you prefer).
- Bake the mini loaves in a 350ºF. pre-heated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes until they are well cooked from the center and bacon slices look crispy and attached around the loaves.
- Serve with steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes, if like.
- Note: Chris says: "It is sort of like a tiny self contained bacon burger".
- And thanks to the reviewers for their good suggestions to improve this recipe.
Tips:
- Choose ground meat that is at least 80% lean for a healthier meatloaf.
- Soak the bread crumbs in milk for a few minutes before adding them to the meatloaf mixture. This will help to bind the ingredients together and keep the meatloaf moist.
- Season the meatloaf mixture generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
- Wrap each meatloaf ball in a slice of bacon. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
- Bake the meatloaf balls at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a crispy bacon crust.
- Serve the meatloaf balls with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or roasted vegetables.
