Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf! Of course, we add bacon. I mean, you already read the title “Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf”, so this question is more of just an ode to how bacon makes everything more delicious! Yay Bacon! That will not only make them more tender, but it will add more moisture and flavor to your meatloaf! Cutting into it too quickly will make all the juices seep out, and your meatloaf will get dry!

Ingredients

1 pound bacon
37 saltine crackers, crushed
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup diced onion
2 eggs
1 pound ground beef

Method

01

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
02

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.
03

Crush the crackers. I always crush the crackers while still in their sleeves. Pour crushed crackers into beef. Mix the crackers into the beef mixture well.
04

Form into a loaf shape and set to the side. Take the bacon and divide it into an even amount. Take 1 half of the bacon and lay side by side longways. Fold every other bacon strip in half.
05

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 the room.
06

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.
07

Wap the weave around the beef loaf-shaped mixture. Flip the bacon-wrapped meatloaf upside down, making the ends of the bacon tuck under the loaf.
08

Place the loaf in the center of the oven on a cookie sheet. It takes about an hour to cook.
09

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.
