Bacon Wrapped Meat Loaf Recipes

BACON-WRAPPED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with slightly overlapping pieces of bacon.
• In a medium-sized bowl, mash together beef, onions, bell pepper, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, oats, salt and pepper.
• Spread 2 tablespoons of glaze over the bacon in the loaf pan.
• Then press the meatloaf mixture into the pan.
• Fold any overhanging bacon over the top of the loaf pan. Flip the loaf pan onto a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Carefully wrap the ends of the meatloaf with bacon as well, tucking the strips into the other pieces of bacon so it's tight.
• Bake meatloaf at 350° F for 50 minutes. Remove meatloaf, brush with ketchup glaze and return to oven for another 15-20 minutes. Finished meatloaf should have crispy bacon edges and reach an internal temperature of 165° F in the center of the meatloaf.
• Let meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a large bowl mix ground beef, eggs, diced onions, ketchup, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mixing with your hands is best. Mix it real well.

• Pour crushed crackers into beef. Mix the crackers into the beef mixture well.
• Form into a loaf shape and set to the side.
• Take the bacon and divide it into even amount.
• Take 1 half of the bacon and lay side by side long ways.
• Fold every other bacon strip in half.
• Lay 1 of the other half of the reserved bacon strips across.
• Unfold the half folded bacon strip.
• Fold the other every other bacon strips that were not folded in the previous step.
• Lay a slice of bacon across and then unfold.
• Repeat until you run out of room.
• Start on the other half of the bacon strip until you have made a weave.
• Pace the loaf shaped beef mixture into the center on your bacon weave.
• Wap the weave around the beef loaf shaped mixture.
• Flip the bacon wrapped meat loaf upside down,making the ends of the bacon tuck under the loaf.
• Place the loaf in the center of the oven on a cookie sheet.
• It takes about an hour to cook.
• To make sure it is cooked all the way through, I sometimes use a meat thermometer but that isn't really needed. Sometimes I leave it in for 15 more minutes if I am worried it isn't cooked all the way.
