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.)

  • 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.

MINI-MEAT LOAVES WRAPPED IN BACON

Provided by pink cook

Categories     Meat

Time 45m

Yield 12 mini loaves, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs lean ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 eggs (Chris uses 1 tablespoon cornstarch instead of the eggs due to allergies)
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs (Chris uses gluten free bread crumbs)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
12 slices bacon

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.
