Provided by MilitantLobster

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Meatloaf Recipes     Pork Meatloaf Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 slices bacon, divided
1 pound ground beef
¼ cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or as needed
⅓ cup ketchup
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup crushed pineapple, drained
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Chop 4 bacon strips; set remaining 4 bacon strips aside.
  • Cook chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until bacon is browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Set chopped bacon aside.
  • Lightly mix ground beef, bread crumbs, beaten egg, garlic, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Spread meat mixture out on a piece of waxed paper, forming a rectangle about 10 inches square. Spread Cheddar cheese and cooked chopped bacon over the meat, leaving a 1/2-inch edge all around. Carefully lift an edge and roll the meat around the filling. Place into a loaf pan with the seam side down.
  • Bake meat loaf in the preheated oven until hot and beginning to brown, about 30 minutes. Mix ketchup, brown sugar, pineapple, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl, stirring to dissolve brown sugar. Remove meat loaf from oven and place remaining 4 bacon strips onto meat loaf, weaving them together. Spread pineapple mixture over woven bacon and top of loaf.
  • Return meat loaf to oven and bake until bacon topping is crisp and pineapple mixture has baked into a glaze, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat loaf should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

  • Choose the right ground beef: For a juicy and flavorful meatloaf, use 80% lean ground beef.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and Worcestershire sauce to flavor the meatloaf.
  • Do not overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing will make the meatloaf tough.
  • Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape: Use your hands to form the meatloaf into a loaf shape that is about 9 inches long and 5 inches wide.
  • Wrap the meatloaf in bacon: Wrapping the meatloaf in bacon will help keep it moist and add flavor.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven: Bake the meatloaf in a preheated 350°F oven for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf.
