BACON MINI MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery until beginning to soften. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Turn off heat, then add tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until evenly combined.
• In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, and cooked vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
• Using your hands, shape 6 patties, about 4" wide, to make mini meatloaves. Place on baking sheet, then wrap each patty with a strip of bacon.
• Whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Spoon the ketchup glaze onto each mini meatloaf.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until the bacon and meat are cooked through. (The bacon won't get super-crispy, but it will still be delish!)

• 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.
