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.)

Steps:

- 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

- Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sugar is bubbly. To serve, place the wieners in a slow cooker and keep on the low setting.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper and lay the bacon out side by side, overlapping just a bit, if necessary, to fit the whole package on the pan. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and place the pan on the top rack of the oven. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the bacon is nicely browned and slightly crispy.* Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right ground meat: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. You can also use all-beef or all-pork, but the combination of the two meats gives the meatballs a more complex flavor.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a lot of flavor to the meatballs. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing the meatball mixture will make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form the meatballs: This will help to ensure that the meatballs are all the same size and shape.
- Cook the meatballs thoroughly: Cook the meatballs until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. This will help to prevent them from becoming dry.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce: Brown sugar bacon-wrapped meatballs are delicious served with a variety of sauces, such as tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, or honey mustard sauce.
