This savory bacon-wrapped meatloaf is a delicious twist on the classic dish, featuring a blend of ground meats and aromatic seasonings, all wrapped in crispy bacon.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Line a loaf pan with the smoked bacon slices, overlapping them slightly to cover the bottom and sides.
Ensure the bacon slices extend slightly over the edges of the pan for easy wrapping.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, pork sausage, eggs, garlic, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the meat mixture into the bacon-lined pan, pressing it down gently to fill the pan evenly.
Press the mixture gently to avoid air pockets.
Fold the overhanging bacon slices over the top of the meat mixture to enclose it.
This step helps seal in the juices and adds flavor.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, basting occasionally with the drippings.
Basting keeps the meatloaf moist and enhances the flavor.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meatloaf juicier.
