Bbq Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) .
• Combine ground beef, ground sausage, crushed crackers, ketchup, onion, eggs, onion powder, and garlic powder in a large bowl until mixed thoroughly, using your hands for best results. Form mixture into a loaf shape.
• Weave strips of bacon into a basket weave pattern. Place meatloaf in the center and carefully lift and transfer to a loaf pan, so bacon is on the bottom and sides of the pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Allow to sit for 5 minutes before carefully flipping onto a platter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x11-inch baking dish.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until edges just start to curl, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. Reserve about 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in the skillet.
• Cook and stir onion and garlic in the bacon drippings until onion is softened, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
• Mix cooled onion and garlic, ground beef, 1/2 cup barbeque sauce, bread crumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, oregano, and chili powder together with your hands in a large bowl. Form beef mixture into a log-shaped meatloaf; place in the prepared baking dish.
• Wrap partially-cooked bacon slices around the meatloaf, tucking the ends of bacon underneath the loaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Brush bacon-wrapped meatloaf with 3 tablespoons barbeque sauce. Continue baking until no longer pink in the center, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place bacon slices in the freezer until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine ground beef, milk, oats, Colby-Jack cheese, onion, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, eggs, garlic pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Remove bacon from the freezer and dice; add to the beef mixture. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly; I like to use a potato masher. Transfer into the prepared baking dish and form the top into a loaf. Evenly cover the top of the loaf with remaining barbecue sauce.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
