Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf With Brown Sugar Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Spread ketchup over the bottom of the loaf pan; spread brown sugar over the ketchup.
• Combine ground beef, crackers, eggs, onion, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Form mixture into a loaf and place in the prepared pan. Lay bacon strips on top in a lattice or other pattern.
• Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear and bacon is cooked, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Heat remaining bacon grease over medium-high heat. Saute celery in hot grease until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Combine bread crumbs, milk, eggs, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, onion powder, and sauteed celery in a large bowl. Mix well.
• Crumble beef and pork into egg mixture and mix together using your hands, making sure not to overmix. Form into a loaf and place into the prepared loaf pan. Place the bacon slices along the top of the loaf long-ways.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 30 minutes.
• While the meat is cooking, combine ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, and Worcestershire for glaze in a small bowl; mix well.
• Remove loaf from the oven and drain any fat bubbling around edges and on top. Return to the oven and continue to bake for 25 minutes more. Remove once more, drain fat again, and spoon or brush glaze mixture evenly over the top. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Return loaf to the preheated oven and continue to bake until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let sit for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Steps:

• For the glaze: Mix all ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
• For the meatloaf: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add onion and garlic, saute until softened, about 5 minutes; set aside to cool.
• Mix eggs with thyme, salt, pepper, mustard, Worchestershire, pepper sauce, and milk or yogurt. Add egg mixture to meat in a large bowl, along with crackers, oatmeal or bread crumbs, parsley and cook onions and garlic; mix with a fork until evenly blended and meat mixture does not stick to bowl. (If mixture does stick, add additional milk, a couple tablespoons at a time, and continue stirring until mixture stops sticking.)
• Turn meat mixture onto a work surface. With wet hands, pat mixture into a loaf approximately 9 by 5 inches.
• Cover a wire rack with foil; prick foil in several places with a fork. Place a rack on a shallow roasting pan lined with foil for easy cleanup.
• Set formed loaf on rack. Brush loaf with all of glaze, then arrange bacon slices, crosswise, over loaf, overlapping them slightly and tucking them under to prevent curling.
• Bake loaf until bacon is crisp and loaf registers 160 degrees, about 1 hour. Cool for at least 20 minutes. Slice and serve

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• For glaze, mix ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar together, set aside.
• Saute onions and garlic in oil.
• Mix onions and garlic with the rest of the meatloaf ingredients.
• You may find it helpful to use your hands.
• Shape into loaf, put onto a foil lined pan.
• Brush half of the glaze over the loaf.
• Wrap bacon around loaf, tucking ends under.
• Bake approximately 1 hour, bacon should crisp up.
• Cool 20 minutes before cutting.
• Serve with extra glaze.
