Time 2h

Yield 6

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) .
  • Combine ground beef, ground sausage, crushed crackers, ketchup, onion, eggs, onion powder, and garlic powder in a large bowl until mixed thoroughly, using your hands for best results. Form mixture into a loaf shape.
  • 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.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 lb ground beef
1 cup onion, diced, sauteed
3 cloves garlic, minced, sauteed
1 ½ cups grated parmesan cheese, divided
2 eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
½ cup milk
½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 ½ cups ketchup
½ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons onion powder

¼ cup tomato paste
1 lb yukon gold potato, peeled, chopped, cooked
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 cup milk
28 slices bacon, slices

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • In a large bowl, mix together beef, cooked onions and garlic, Parmesan, eggs, panko, salt, pepper, Worcestershire, milk and parsley. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, make the glaze by mixing ketchup, brown sugar, mustard powder, onion powder, paprika, and tomato paste. Reserve half of the glaze in a separate bowl for after the meatloaf is cooked. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mash cooked potatoes, butter, salt, pepper, milk and parmesan to desired consistency. Set aside.
  • Line a bundt pan with slices of bacon and use a pastry brush to spread a layer of glaze on the inside of the bacon.
  • Add ⅔ of the meat to the bottom of the bundt pan and spread up the sides and up the middle of the pan making a "bowl" for the mashed potatoes.
  • Add the mashed potatoes into the "bowl" and smooth out. Top the mashed potatoes with the remaining meat, smooth out, coat the top with the raw meat glaze, and fold the slices of bacon over the top of the meat. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour, remove the foil after 30 minutes and carefully drain some of the fat before putting it back into the oven.
  • Place a cooling rack on top of the bundt pan and flip over onto a baking sheet. Remove the bundt pan and coat the meatloaf with the reserved glaze.
  • Broil on high for 3-5 minutes or until the glaze has caramelized.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 meatloaves

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 slices rye bread, tough crusts removed, bread crumbled (about 1 cup)
1/3 cup milk
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground caraway
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
12 ounces ground beef (90/10)
8 ounces ground pork
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons steak sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
6 slices center cut bacon

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.)
