Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf on a wood serving plate with five twice baked potatoes, and a bowl of peas next to it.

Okay friends, are you ready for this? Today, I am humbly bringing you a recipe for meatloaf. Yep, it’s MEAT. Shaped like a LOAF. I have to confess, I made this recipe a while back, and have been a little hesitant to share it with you. You see, I like to think of myself as a little more complicated than meatloaf. A little more refined? More sophisticated?

But apparently I am not! Because I really like this meatloaf. And I really liked the meatloaf my mom made for us when I was younger. And my boys all loved this meatloaf. My husband was fairly unfamiliar with meatloaf and was a little uppity about trying it until I reassured him that it is nothing more than a GIANT MEATBALL wrapped in BACON! And then he liked it too.

Obviously, the lattice approach with the bacon is me trying to bring meatloaf to a level that makes me comfortable sharing it with you here on Lovely Little Kitchen. But underneath, it’s still a humble loaf of meat. And I’m okay with that now! And I’m sure Lovely Little Kitchen is okay with it too.

I love how well McCormick’s Smokehouse Maple Seasoning works in this recipe. It goes so well with the BBQish topping and of course, the bacon!

So if you don’t already have a meatloaf recipe that you love, or if you want to try something new, give this one a whirl! And if you are feeling the whole retro thing, serve it with peas and potatoes!

Description

This bacon wrapped meatloaf is comfort food at its best, kicked up a notch with a Smokehouse Maple seasoning!

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/3 pounds ground beef (I used 85/15)
1 egg
2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoons Worcestershire
1 tablespoon McCormick Smokehouse Maple Seasoning
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
8 slices bacon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, and set an oven proof rack over the top of the foil. This helps the grease drip away from the meatloaf.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire, and McCormick Smokehouse Maple seasoning. Mix (with hands) until well combined. Shape into a loaf and set on top of the wire rack.
In a small bowl, combine ketchup and brown sugar. Spoon over the top of the meatloaf.
Lay the bacon out in a lattice pattern on a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper, and then flip it over onto the top of the meatloaf, tucking the sides under.
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, then slice and serve.
