Number Of Ingredients 23

1 lb grass-fed ground beef
6 strips smoky bacon
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ large white onion, minced
1 ½ tablespoons carrot, shredded
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons beef broth
1 tablespoon heaping tomato paste, or marinara sauce
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
½ cup italian style breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon cayenne powder
⅛ teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°
In a medium saute pan, heat the extra olive oil on med-high. Add garlic, onion, and carrot in oil and cook for 8-10 min or until soft.
Add the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and tomato paste,
Now goes in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Mix well and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl mix the grass-fed beef, onion mixture, bread crumbs and egg.
Lay out the bacon strips, barely overlapping each other
Form the meat into a rectangle loaf to fit the bacon. Now wrap one side with the bacon then the other. You want them to slightly overlap each other.
Move to a cooking sheet with a rack. Place seam-side down.
Bake for 30 minutes. While the loaf is cooking, whisk all the glaze ingredients in a bowl.
After 30 minutes up, turn the oven temp to 450°. Cook for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, brush on ¾ of the glaze around the whole meatloaf.
Bake for 10 - 15 minutes more or until the internal temp is 160°.
Let the loaf rest for 10 minutes.
Slice, and brush the remaining glaze on top if desired.
ENJOY!
