Number Of Ingredients 9

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.

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:

  • For a crispy bacon wrapping, cook the bacon until it is almost done, but not quite crispy. This will help it stay in place on the meatloaf while it cooks.
  • If you don't have any bacon on hand, you can use ground sausage or ham instead.
  • To make sure the meatloaf is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped turkey meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover turkey and it is also a healthier alternative to traditional meatloaf. With its crispy bacon wrapping and flavorful filling, this meatloaf is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
