Maple Bacon Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Chop 1/4 pound bacon; sauté until browned but not crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer cooked bacon to paper towels to drain. Add onion and garlic to pan. Cover, and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, eggs, dry mustard, salt, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, ground pepper and hot pepper sauce.
• In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, veal, cooked bacon, onion mixture and milk mixture. Using your hands, toss lightly to mix. Add saltines and parsley, and toss lightly again until thoroughly combined. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with foil; on it, form meat into a domed loaf about 5 inches by 12. Drape remaining strips of bacon lengthwise over loaf to completely cover.
• In a small bowl, combine maple syrup and Dijon mustard. Paint a thick coat over bacon. Bake uncovered, until a thermometer inserted into center registers 165 degrees, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. If desired, baste occasionally with remaining maple syrup mixture. Let meatloaf rest about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

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:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375.
• 2. Finely dice one small onion and place in large bowl.
• 3. To the bowl add the turkey, sausage, egg, and about half the can of diced tomatoes and juice.
• 4. Crush the entire tube of crackers into the bowl and mix until all ingredients are well combined.
• 5. Place the mixture into a loaf pan and top it with the slices of bacon. I found that 4 slices of bacon fit my pan perfectly.
• 6. Bake uncovered approx 1 hour.
• 7. There will be some fat in the bottom of the pan after it cooks. I just carefully poured out as much as I could.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Make the glaze: put all of the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. you want it to simmer, but not boil, for about 10 minutes. Stir frequently. While this simmers, you can start assembling the meat mixture.
• 3. Mix the meatloaf: In a large bowl add ketchup, egg, onion (grate on a medium grate on a box grater), carrot (grate on a medium grate on a box grater), garlic powder, Emeril's seasoning, and salt in a large mixing bowl, and mix to combine evenly. Add hamburger and breadcrumbs to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly to combine. Set aside.
• 4. Make a bacon basket weave: On a piece of parchment or wax paper lay out 6 thick cut bacon slices next to each other. Fold every other one in half (3 down, 3 up), and place another piece of bacon next to the folded down bacon. Unfold the 3 pieces of bacon over the top of the piece you just laid down, and then fold down over that piece of bacon the other 3 slices that were not previously folded. where those fold down, you want to put another slice of bacon, and then repeat the process of folding back over, and folding down the other three. One more slice of bacon, and then half of the bacon weave is done. Repeat for the other half of bacon. You should have a total of 12 slices of bacon made into a basketweave mat of yumminess waiting to happen.
• 5. Shape the Loaf: Gather up the meatloaf mix by hand and shape it into a loaf about three inches shy of the length of your bacon mat, and about 1/3 of the width. You need to eyeball it here and use your best judgment so that when you lay the loaf in the middle, the long sides will have enough bacon to wrap up and over to the top so they almost meet each other, and the short sides will wrap up to totally cover the end pieces. Lay it in the center of the bacon mat.
• 6. Fold the bacon mat up and over the length of each of the long meatloaf sides so that it wraps up and over to the top, then fold the bacon from the ends up.
• 7. Place the dish you want to bake the loaf in over the loaf, and then grab the paper on one side, and hold the pan tight on the other side, and flip it over so that the loaf slides inside the pan. Center it in the pan, and then brush on the glaze over the maple. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes and then start basting every 15 minutes with the glaze. Keep basting until a meat thermometer inserted in the center

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and arrange the bacon in 1 layer on the baking rack. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the bacon begins to brown. Remove the pan carefully from the oven; there will be hot grease in the pan! Brush the bacon slices with maple syrup and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the bacon is a warm golden brown. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Chop vegetables while toasting bread. In a mixing bowl put ground meat, add egg, vegetables and Worcestershire Sauce. Tear bread into small pieces and add to mix. Knead ingredients together and add syrup and salt and pepper. Knead until mixture is homogeneous.
• Place mixture in lubricated baking dish and spread out evenly. Add bacon in a weaving pattern on top. Cover and place in oven.
• After about 30 minutes, remove cover and put under the broiler for about 5 minutes or until bacon is of desired crispness.
