We like bacon and we like meatloaf therefore I had to make the family a bacon wrapped meatloaf.
(my meatloaf right when I put it in the oven)
Now this wasn’t my first time making a meatloaf wrapped in bacon, I actually made one last year that I BBQ’d. With this meatloaf I cooked last week, I used a couple ideas I got from The Pioneer Woman’s meatloaf recipe and added some of my own. I got quite a few compliments and I thought it was so good I had meatloaf leftovers for breakfast the next morning.
Here is my version of a bacon wrapped meatloaf….
Bacon Wrapped Meatoaf Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk
- 6 slices of bread
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp seasoning salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 4 eggs beaten
- 10 slices of thin bacon
- 2 sticks of celery
- 1/4 to 1/2 small white onion
- 1/2 Pringles Original flavor crushed
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup ketchup for sauce
- 1/3 cup brown sugar for sauce
- 1 tsp dry mustard for sauce
Instructions
-
Use a food processor and chop celery and onion.
-
In a bowl add ketchup, brown sugar and dry mustard. Mix to create a sauce and set aside.
-
In a bowl, add 6 slices of bread and pour milk over bread and set aside to allow milk to absorb into bread.
-
In a large bowl add ground beef and parmesan cheese and mix. Add remaining ingredients and knead mixture to form into a meatloaf shape.
-
Take bacon and wrap around meatloaf overlapping each piece and tucking in the bacon on the bottom on each side.
-
Pour 1/2 of sauce mixture over top and spread to cover bacon.
-
Cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with remaining sauce.
-
Cook an additional 15 to 20 minutes until done.

Looks great. I’d have to tweak it a bit to be GF but I don’t think it would be too hard.

That looks delicious and I bet it doesn’t dry out because the bacon probably renders all that yummy fat into the meat. I will have to try!
