Instructions

  • Make the meat mix: Place all ingredients for the meatloaf in a large bowl and mix very well.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  • Add the topping: Place the bacon slices on top of the meatloaf, overlapping slightly.
  • Spread ⅓ of the meatloaf sauce all over the bacon wrapped meatloaf.
  • Bake: Bake the meatloaf for 30 minutes. Spread with another ⅓ of the sauce.
  • Finish baking for another 20-30 minutes, or until the meatloaf is browned and cooked all the way through.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately spread with the remaining sauce. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
  • Stir together until smooth and use as directed in the recipe.
