We like bacon and we like meatloaf therefore I had to make the family a bacon wrapped meatloaf.
(my meatloaf right when I put it in the oven)
Now this wasn’t my first time making a meatloaf wrapped in bacon, I actually made one last year that I BBQ’d. With this meatloaf I cooked last week, I used a couple ideas I got from The Pioneer Woman’s meatloaf recipe and added some of my own. I got quite a few compliments and I thought it was so good I had meatloaf leftovers for breakfast the next morning.
Here is my version of a bacon wrapped meatloaf….

My meatloaf out of the oven.. YUM!
Looks great. I’d have to tweak it a bit to be GF but I don’t think it would be too hard.
That looks delicious and I bet it doesn’t dry out because the bacon probably renders all that yummy fat into the meat. I will have to try!
