Mini 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:

• I start by sauteing my onion and garlic in a pan with some olive oil until soft.
• I add the cooked onion and garlic to my meat mixture.
• Mix everything in a bowl together except the bacon.
• Don't over mix.
• Now form your lovely packages into 5" long loaves. Cut bacon slices to drape over each loaf. About 4 half slices for each little mini meatloaf. Pack them tightly on the meat to keep them moist.
• I bake them on a rack over a cookie sheet to catch the drippings. Less mess this way.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 35-45 minutes. Temperature should reach 160.
• Let rest about 10 minutes on cutting board before slicing, otherwise the slices will fall apart. Let the juices redistribute and solidify.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the bread in a large bowl and pour the milk over. Let soak a few minutes, then squeeze through your fingers to combine. Add the egg, onion, parsley, dry mustard, caraway and coriander and mix well. Add the ground beef, ground pork, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper. Mix well with your hands to combine.
• In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, steak sauce, mustard and brown sugar.
• Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form into balls. Wrap each ball with 1 strip of bacon. Place, without touching, on a rimmed baking sheet or in a large braiser. Brush with a light coating of the glaze. Bake until the fat from the bacon has rendered, about 20 minutes.
• Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
• Brush the meatloaves with the remaining glaze. Continue to bake until the meatloaves are cooked through, the bacon is crisp and the glaze is shiny, 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove to a platter or plates to serve, leaving the drippings behind. (Save drippings for the Cheesy Mashed Potatoes & Gravy.)

Steps:

• In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook carrots and onion until tender and golden about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
• In a bowl, use your hands to combine the turkey, egg, parsley, breadcrumbs, chili sauce and the cooled onion mixture until just blended. Do not overwork or the mixture will become tough when cooked. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into thick patty, about 3-inches across. Wrap a slice of bacon around the edge of the each patty. To freeze, wrap individual patties in plastic wrap and store in a resealable plastic freezer bag.
• .
• Remove plastic wrap from frozen patties and place them on a grease rimmed baking sheet and bake in a preheated 375F oven until cooked through and patties reach an internal temperature of 165F, 40-45 minutes. If baking from fresh, cook 35-40 minutes. Serve with baked sweet potatoes and broccolini, if desired.
