1/2 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon kosher salt

BACON WRAPPED MEATLOAF



Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf image

The seasonings and vegetables give this meatloaf great flavor but the whole grain rolled oats gives this dish a nice denseness and maintains the juicyness. And let's face it, bacon wrapped anything is a delight to the senses.

Provided by Chef Jeff S.

Categories     Meatloaf

Time 2h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 -10 slices of a good smoked bacon
1 lb ground beef
1 lb lean ground sirloin
2 eggs
1 1/8 ounces Lipton beefy onion soup mix
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup celery, chopped
1/3 cup onion, chopped
1/3 cup sweet pepper, chopped
1/4-1/2 teaspoon creole seasoning
1/3-1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Put a nonstick skillet on medium heat for a few minutes. Add the oil, chopped vegetables and creole seasoning. Saute for a few minutes until just tender and onions are translucent. Remove from heat to let cool.
  • Line a loaf pan with the bacon so the ends hang over the side of the pan.
  • Combine all other ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  • When the vegetables are cool enough to handle put in the mixing bowl. Mix all ingredients until well incorporated but not over mixed.
  • Put meat mixture in the loaf pan, tamping down to compact and spread to the whole pan. Take the bacon ends and lay on top of the meat mixture. Your loaf should be entirely wrapped with bacon at this point.
  • Cover loosely with foil and place in oven for 1 hour.
  • After 1 hour remove the foil, increase the temperature to 425 and bake for another 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let set for 10-15 minutes.
  • Slice and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. Quick-cooking oats will make the meatloaf too soft, while steel-cut oats will not cook through properly.
  • Soak the Oats: Soaking the oats in milk or water before adding them to the meatloaf mixture will help them to soften and absorb the liquid, resulting in a more moist and flavorful meatloaf.
  • Use High-Quality Bacon: The bacon is a key ingredient in this meatloaf, so be sure to use a good quality, thick-cut bacon. Turkey bacon can be used as a healthier alternative.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the meatloaf mixture generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meatloaf.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the meatloaf at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F (70°C).
  • Let it Rest: Allow the meatloaf to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meatloaf to set and retain its juices.

Conclusion:

Oats and bacon meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The oats add a subtle sweetness and texture to the meatloaf, while the bacon adds a smoky and savory flavor. This meatloaf is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
