Categories     Meatloaf

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 1 inch thick slices, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground beef
2 eggs
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
37 saltine crackers, crushed
1 lb bacon

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.
  • Crush the crackers. I always crush the crackers while still in their sleeve.
  • 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.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup ketchup or chili sauce
2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons cider or white vinegar
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black paper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worchestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
1/2 up milk, buttermilk or low-fat plain yogurt
2 pounds meat-loaf mix (2 parts ground chuck, 1 part ground veal, 1 part ground pork)
2/3 cups crushed saltine crackers (about 16) or quick oatmeal or 1 1/3 cups fresh bread crumbs
1/3 cup minced parsley
6 ounces thin-sliced bacon

Steps:

  • For the glaze: Mix all ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
  • For the meatloaf: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add onion and garlic, saute until softened, about 5 minutes; set aside to cool.
  • Mix eggs with thyme, salt, pepper, mustard, Worchestershire, pepper sauce, and milk or yogurt. Add egg mixture to meat in a large bowl, along with crackers, oatmeal or bread crumbs, parsley and cook onions and garlic; mix with a fork until evenly blended and meat mixture does not stick to bowl.

  • Turn meat mixture onto a work surface. With wet hands, pat mixture into a loaf approximately 9 by 5 inches.
  • Cover a wire rack with foil; prick foil in several places with a fork. Place a rack on a shallow roasting pan lined with foil for easy cleanup.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 meatloaves

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 slices rye bread, tough crusts removed, bread crumbled (about 1 cup)

2 tablespoons steak sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon light brown sugar

Add the egg, onion, parsley, dry mustard, caraway and coriander and mix well. Add the ground beef, ground pork, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper. Mix well with your hands to combine.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, steak sauce, mustard and brown sugar.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 lb sliced bacon
3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
2 minced garlic cloves
2 lbs meatloaf mixture
1 egg

  • I add the cooked onion and garlic to my meat mixture.
  • Mix everything in a bowl together except the bacon.
  • Don't over mix.
  • Now form your lovely packages into 5" long loaves. Cut bacon slices to drape over each loaf. About 4 half slices for each little mini meatloaf. Pack them tightly on the meat to keep them moist.
  • I bake them on a rack over a cookie sheet to catch the drippings. Less mess this way.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 35-45 minutes. Temperature should reach 160.
  • Let rest about 10 minutes on cutting board before slicing, otherwise the slices will fall apart. Let the juices redistribute and solidify.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of ground meat: A combination of ground beef and ground pork is a classic choice for meatloaf, as it provides a good balance of flavor and texture. You can also use all beef, all pork, or a mixture of ground turkey and ground chicken for a healthier option.
  • Use fresh, quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the meatloaf will be. Use fresh herbs and spices, and avoid using processed or pre-packaged ingredients.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper, as well as other herbs and spices. This will help to give the meatloaf flavor and depth.
  • Mix the meatloaf thoroughly: Make sure to mix the meatloaf ingredients together thoroughly, until they are well combined. This will help to ensure that the meatloaf is evenly cooked.
  • Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape: Use your hands to form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape. You can also use a meatloaf pan to help you shape the meatloaf.
  • Wrap the meatloaf in bacon: Wrapping the meatloaf in bacon will help to keep it moist and flavorful. You can use regular bacon or thick-cut bacon, depending on your preference.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature: Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) for the first 15 minutes. This will help to sear the bacon and lock in the juices.
  • Reduce the temperature and continue baking: After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue baking the meatloaf for 1 hour, or until it is cooked through.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices from running out.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make a meatloaf that is moist, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at the table.
