Cook Bacon In Microwave Or Frypan Recipe For Meatloaf

COOK BACON IN MICROWAVE OR FRYPAN

Steps:

• MICROWAVE - Put a layer of kitchen paper on a microwave proof plate and top with the bacon slices and place another layer of kitchen paper on top and cook in microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
• FRYPAN - Place bacon in a cold frying pan and turn the heat on and cook until crisp (by placing in a cold pan ensures that the fat renders out while the pan is warming, therefore there is no need for oil). Season with salt and pepper if desired.

BACON-WRAPPED MEATLOAF

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.

SKILLET MEATLOAF

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of the tomato soup, ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, onion, salt and pepper using your hands. Shape firmly into two loaves.
• Heat a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatloaves in the hot skillet, then reduce heat to medium and cover with a lid. Simmer for about 25 minutes, or until meat is cooked through.
• Spoon the fat from the skillet, and stir in the remaining soup, water, and mustard. Top with mozzarella cheese, and let simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring sauce occasionally.

BACON CHEESEBURGER MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and reserve.
• Add the milk, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, and the mustard to a bowl and whisk to combine. Add the bread and toss to combine. Set aside.
• Add the onions and garlic to a small food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
• Add the pickles and pulse until chopped.
• Add the pulsed vegetables to the bread mixture, along with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Stir to combine.
• Add the ground beef, bacon, cheese, and egg and two-thirds of the bacon and combine together.
• Pour mixture onto the prepared pan and shape into an 8x4 inch loaf.
• Brush all over with remaining 3 tablespoons of ketchup.
• Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Transfer meatloaf to a serving platter. Heat the cheese sauce in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl, about one minute.
• Pour cheese sauce over the meatloaf. Garnish with remaining toppings and the reserved bacon.
