Mini Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf image

Classic comfort food gets a major flavor upgrade! Bacon-wrapped meatloaf starts with a blend of ground beef, breadcrumbs and seasonings that are covered with bacon, brushed with a sweet ketchup glaze, and baked until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley ((or 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes))
½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves ((or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme))
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 lbs. ground beef ((I use 85% lean))
½ cup plain dry breadcrumbs
⅓ cup milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
6 slices center-cut bacon (not thick-cut)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent (about 7-10 minutes). Remove from the heat and stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, use a fork to gently combine the ground beef, onion mixture, breadcrumbs, milk and eggs.
  • Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into oval balls. Wrap each ball with one strip of bacon.
  • Arrange bacon-wrapped meatloaves on a parchment-lined or foil-lined rimmed baking sheet that has been lightly coated with nonstick spray.
  • In a small bowl, stir together ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar. Brush a light coating of the ketchup mixture on top of each meatloaf, reserving extra glaze for later.
  • Bake until the fat from the bacon has rendered, about 20 minutes.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 425°F. Brush meatloaves with remaining ketchup mixture. Continue to bake until the meatloaves are cooked through and the bacon is crisp, about 15 more minutes. If using an instant-read thermometer, the meatloaves should reach an internal temperature of 155-160°F. Serve hot.

MINI-MEAT LOAVES WRAPPED IN BACON



Mini-Meat Loaves Wrapped in Bacon image

Make and share this Mini-Meat Loaves Wrapped in Bacon recipe from Food.com.

Provided by pink cook

Categories     Meat

Time 45m

Yield 12 mini loaves, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs lean ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 eggs (Chris uses 1 tablespoon cornstarch instead of the eggs due to allergies)
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs (Chris uses gluten free bread crumbs)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
12 slices bacon

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix the meat with onion, garlic, ground black pepper, taco seasoning mix, ketchup, Worcestershire and beaten eggs.
  • Add bread crumbs and mix well. (You will need to use your hands and knead it up well). Roll the meat into 12 mini-loaves that fit into your mini-loaves baking pan, (or use a shallow baking tray with a rack to drain the grease from the bacon).
  • 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.
  • Serve with steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes, if like.
  • Note: Chris says: "It is sort of like a tiny self contained bacon burger".
  • And thanks to the reviewers for their good suggestions to improve this recipe.

Useful Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf Muffins Recipe

• Use high-quality bacon. Look for thick-cut bacon that is not too fatty. • Don't overcook the meatloaf. The internal temperature should reach 160°F when checked with a meat thermometer. • Let the meatloaf rest before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and the meatloaf to firm up. • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed & gravy, roasted veggies, mac & cheese, or a fresh mixed green or Caesar Salad. • You can also make these meatloaf muffins ahead of time. Just cook them according to the recipe, then let them cool completely. Store the meatloaf muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheating them in the microwave or a toaster over is recommended before serving.

Conclusion

These bacon-wrapped miniature meatloaves are sure to be a hit at your next party or pot luck. They are easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time.
