Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf

Langkah-langkah

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2. Combine the glaze ingredients and set aside.

3. In a small skillet, cook the onion in oil over medium heat for 5 minutes or until tender—this step is optional but produces a milder onion flavor. Cool completely.

4. In a large bowl, add the cooled onion, beef, cracker crumbs, bell pepper, eggs, milk, parsley, Italian seasoning, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, ¼ cup of glaze, and salt and pepper. Using your hands, very gently mix until combined.

5. Line a rimmed baking pan with foil and top with metal rack. Add a piece of parchment paper just slightly larger than your meat loaf will be.

6. Form beef into a 9x5-inch loaf and place on the parchment paper. Brush with glaze.

7. Wrap meatloaf with bacon tucking the ends under the bottom of the loaf. Brush the loaf with the glaze mixture and bake 45 minutes.

8. Brush again with glaze and bake another 30 minutes or until meatloaf reaches 160°F.

9. Rest 15 minutes before slicing.
