Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf

It's that time of the week again...Meatloaf Monday!!

I love having a "set menu" in that I don't have to completely wrack my brain for dinner ideas. I have a theme for every day of the week and then just search Pinterest like a crazy person to find ideas!

I really like making mini meatloaves and who doesn't like bacon with meatloaf?! These did bake for quite awhile even though they are smaller, but they were definitely worth the wait.

If you're anything like me, you will be worried about the amount of milk that is added to the meatloaf mixture...it will be absorbed and will be the main reason for your incredibly moist meal.



You Will Need:
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, grated
1 Tbs butter
1 lb ground beef
1 egg
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup milk
1 Tbs Worcestershire
1 tsp thyme
6 slices bacon
1/2 cup ketchup
1 Tbs mustard
1 Tbs sugar



Preheat oven to 350°

Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

Melt the butter in a medium skillet and cook the onion until soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Set aside to cool for a bit.


In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire, thyme, and cooked onions and garlic. Mix with your hands until combined, but not over mixed. Divide into 6 portions and shape into disks.

Wrap the bacon around the mini meatloaves.


In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, sugar, and mustard. Spread on the top of the meatloaves and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
