Recipe Summary Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf

This bacon wrapped meatloaf is made with a blend of pork and beef and cooked in the classic loaf fashion. It's very meaty and a great family dinner.

Ingredients | Bacon Wrapped Dates Goat Cheese Recipe

1 pound ground beef

½ pound ground pork sausage

1 sleeve crushed buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®)

⅔ cup ketchup

½ cup chopped onion

2 eggs

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

12 slices thick-cut bacon

Directions

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.

I prefer to use tomato-vegetable juice cocktail (such as V-8(R) juice) in place of ketchup.
