Best Bacon Wrapped Meatloaves Recipes

BACON WRAPPED MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the bread in a large bowl and pour the milk over. Let soak a few minutes, then squeeze through your fingers to combine. 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.
• Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form into balls. Wrap each ball with 1 strip of bacon. Place, without touching, on a rimmed baking sheet or in a large braiser. Brush with a light coating of the glaze. Bake until the fat from the bacon has rendered, about 20 minutes.
• Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
• Brush the meatloaves with the remaining glaze. Continue to bake until the meatloaves are cooked through, the bacon is crisp and the glaze is shiny, 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove to a platter or plates to serve, leaving the drippings behind. (Save drippings for the Cheesy Mashed Potatoes & Gravy.)

• 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.

BACON-WRAPPED MINI MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a sheet tray with foil and spray it with cooking spray. 2 Place a sauté pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes. Add the thyme and continue to stir and cook until the vegetables have softened, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. 3 In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef, pork, veal, Worcestershire, egg, breadcrumbs and parsley. Season with 2 teaspoons of salt and some freshly cracked black pepper. Add the cooled onion mixture to the bowl and mix to thoroughly combine. Divide the mixture into 6 portions, about ¾ cup each. Form into 6 mini meatloaves. Set aside. 4 Place 3 pieces of trimmed bacon a clean work surface, overlapping them slightly. Place a mini meatloaf in the center of the bacon slices. Bring the ends of the bacon up on both sides, wrapping the meatloaf. Place bacon-wrapped meatloaf, seam side down, on the prepared sheet tray. Repeat with the remaining meatloaves and bacon. 5 Bake meatloaves for 30-35 minutes, until the bacon has crisped and the meat is cooked through. (The internal temperature should be 155ºF.) Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
