BBQ BACON-WRAPPED MEATLOAF

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.

BBQ BACON WRAPPED MEATLOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the 2 lbs of the ground beef and add the remaining ingredients (except bacon, 1 TBS BBQ Sauce & 1 TBS brown sugar) and mix well. (Set aside)
• Line a flat surface with wax paper and lay down 8 strips of bacon horizontally. Then fold back every other piece of bacon in half. Place a strip of bacon vertically and peel back the folded pieces over the vertical piece of bacon. Next fold back every other piece of bacon again, starting with the strip that you did not fold back before. Repeat the process until you have created a square weave of bacon.
• Add thin layer of BBQ sauce with leftover BBQ sauce on top of weaved bacon square.
• Form the grounded beef chuck into a roll. Place grounded beef roll in center of bacon weave and wrap the bacon around the roll. Tuck in bacon on edges. Add the remaining brown sugar (1TBS) over the weaved bacon beef roll to enhance the flavor of the bacon when cooking.
• Place bacon wrapped meatloaf roll in aluminum pan and place on grill.
• Cook for about 1 hour. Rotate the pan on grill after 30 minutes to ensure it cooks even and thoroughly.
• Remove from grill, let cool on a plate, slice and serve.

BACON WRAPPED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a large bowl mix ground beef, eggs, diced onions, ketchup, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mixing with your hands is best. Mix it real well.
• Crush the crackers. I always crush the crackers while still in their sleeve.
• Pour crushed crackers into beef. Mix the crackers into the beef mixture well.
• Form into a loaf shape and set to the side.
• Take the bacon and divide it into even amount.
• Take 1 half of the bacon and lay side by side long ways.
• Fold every other bacon strip in half.
• Lay 1 of the other half of the reserved bacon strips across.
• Unfold the half folded bacon strip.
• Fold the other every other bacon strips that were not folded in the previous step.
• Lay a slice of bacon across and then unfold.
• Repeat until you run out of room.
• Start on the other half of the bacon strip until you have made a weave.
• Pace the loaf shaped beef mixture into the center on your bacon weave.
• Wap the weave around the beef loaf shaped mixture.
• Flip the bacon wrapped meat loaf upside down,making the ends of the bacon tuck under the loaf.
• Place the loaf in the center of the oven on a cookie sheet.
• It takes about an hour to cook.
• To make sure it is cooked all the way through, I sometimes use a meat thermometer but that isn't really needed. Sometimes I leave it in for 15 more minutes if I am worried it isn't cooked all the way.
