This homemade Mozzarella Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf is stuffed with melty cheese and wrapped in plenty of bacon for an easy comforting family dinner.

Ingredients

1/2 cup barbecue sauce
4 oz. mozzarella cheese chopped
9 oz. thin-cut bacon
salt, ground pepper, ground paprika and dried parsley to taste
1 tsp. mustard
1 medium onion finely chopped
2/3 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs
2 pounds ground beef

Method

01

Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (convection ovens to 320°F). Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan first with parchment paper and then with 2/3 of the bacon, leaving an overhang. OR line a rimmed baking sheet with baking parchment and lay 2/3 of the bacon on top if you want to bake without a pan.
02

Make meat mix: Mix ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, mustard and spices in a large bowl (I use a handheld mixer with the hook attachment to do this).
03

Shape meatloaf: Shape a long log with 2/3 of the meat mixture and fit it inside the loaf pan (OR on top of the bacon on the baking sheet, if baking without a loaf pan). Make a crease down the middle and add the mozzarella cheese to it. Cover with the remaining meat mixture. Fold the bacon overhang on top and cover entirely with the remaining 1/3 of bacon. Spread with 1/3 of the barbecue sauce.
04

Bake: Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Spread with another 1/3 of the barbecue sauce. Continue baking for another 20 minutes and spread with the remaining sauce. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
