Bon Appetit's Best Beef & Bacon Meatloaf Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by á-7571

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, grated on large holes of a box grater
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
3/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 large eggs
2/3 cup fine breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan, finely grated
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds ground beef chuck (15% fat)
6 thin strips bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then parchment paper. Heat oil over medium in a small skillet. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until very soft, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Meanwhile, bring ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, and cayenne to a boil in a small saucepan, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Transfer 2 tablespoons ketchup mixture to a blender; add broth and parsley and blend until smooth. Set remaining ketchup mixture aside. Add broth mixture, eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt, and pepper to onion and garlic; mix to combine. Add beef and mix well with your hands to combine. Transfer meatloaf mixture to prepared pan and form into a long log (about 12-x5-inch), smoothing surface. Spread reserved ketchup mixture over top and drape bacon in a crisscross pattern over loaf, tucking underneath. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 165°F and bacon is crisp, 70 to 80 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

This meatloaf is a great way to use up leftover beef. It's also a great recipe to make ahead of time and freeze.

I'm not a big fan of meatloaf, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so moist and flavorful, and the bacon added a nice touch. I'll definitely be making this again.

This meatloaf was a little dry for my taste. I think I would add more moisture next time, maybe some extra ketchup or Worcestershire sauce.

I wasn't sure about the bacon in the meatloaf, but I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! It added a delicious smoky flavor to the meatloaf.
