5 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Heat remaining bacon grease over medium-high heat. Saute celery in hot grease until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Combine bread crumbs, milk, eggs, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, onion powder, and sauteed celery in a large bowl. Mix well.

  • Remove loaf from the oven and drain any fat bubbling around edges and on top. Return to the oven and continue to bake for 25 minutes more. Remove once more, drain fat again, and spoon or brush glaze mixture evenly over the top. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Return loaf to the preheated oven and continue to bake until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let sit for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1/2 lb mushroom, finely chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tbsp)
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh oregano, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 lb ground pork
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground veal (I use instead spicy ground pork meat)
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 lb smoked bacon, sliced (about 13 slices)

Steps:

  • In large skillet over medium heat heat olive oil and saute onions until translucent (about 8 minutes).
  • Add mushrooms and garlic and cook (medium high heat) 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in cream, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes. Transfer to large bowl and let cool.
  • Mix beef, pork and veal; stir in egg and mix well. Add cream mixture and combine well. It will look a bit too liquid, but it is just fine.
  • Position 9" x 5" x 2 1/2" loaf pan with short side facing you. Line bottom and sides of pan with bacon, placing them parallel to the short end, slightly overlaping each other (their ends will hang over the edge).
  • Put meat mixture in pan and smooth top. Fold bacon striips over the meat, enclosing it completely.
  • Place loaf pan in the center of a roasting pan. Fill roasting pan half way up with boiling water. Cover both pans with aluminum paper.
  • Carefully place pans in middle shelf of hot oven (400 F) and bake 1 hour. Remove foil and bake until instant thermometer inserted in center of meatloaf registers 165 F (about 30 minutes more). (at this stage I unmold the meatloaf and bake it uncovered, because I like crispy bacon.).
  • Remove pan of meatloaf from oven and let rest 10 minutes. Pour juices from pan into sauceboat.
  • Cut loaf into 8 slices, taking care to cut bacon completely. Drizzle with pan juices.

Tips:

  • For a perfectly cooked meatloaf, use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium-rare, 165°F (74°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
  • To prevent the bacon from burning, soak it in water for 30 minutes before wrapping it around the meatloaf.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the meatloaf is done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the meatloaf is cooked.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the loaf, resulting in a more flavorful and moist meatloaf.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Wolfgang Puck's bacon-wrapped meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
