Bacon Wrapped Mini Bbq Meatloaves Recipes

BACON WRAPPED MINI MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• I start by sauteing my onion and garlic in a pan with some olive oil until soft.
• I add the cooked onion and garlic to my meat mixture.
• Mix everything in a bowl together except the bacon.
• Don't over mix.
• Now form your lovely packages into 5" long loaves. Cut bacon slices to drape over each loaf. About 4 half slices for each little mini meatloaf. Pack them tightly on the meat to keep them moist.
• I bake them on a rack over a cookie sheet to catch the drippings. Less mess this way.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 35-45 minutes. Temperature should reach 160.
• Let rest about 10 minutes on cutting board before slicing, otherwise the slices will fall apart. Let the juices redistribute and solidify.

BACON WRAPPED MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the bread in a large bowl and pour the milk over. Let soak a few minutes, then squeeze through your fingers to combine. Add the egg, onion, parsley, dry mustard, caraway and coriander and mix well. Add the ground beef, ground pork, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper. Mix well with your hands to combine.
• In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, steak sauce, mustard and brown sugar.
• Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form into balls. Wrap each ball with 1 strip of bacon. Place, without touching, on a rimmed baking sheet or in a large braiser. Brush with a light coating of the glaze. Bake until the fat from the bacon has rendered, about 20 minutes.
• Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
• Brush the meatloaves with the remaining glaze. Continue to bake until the meatloaves are cooked through, the bacon is crisp and the glaze is shiny, 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove to a platter or plates to serve, leaving the drippings behind. (Save drippings for the Cheesy Mashed Potatoes & Gravy.)

BACON-WRAPPED MINI BBQ MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Whisk eggs and milk in large bowl until blended. Add all remaining ingredients except bacon; mix lightly. Shape into 6 (1-inch-thick) patties; wrap bacon slice around edge of each patty.
• Place patties on rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 35 to 40 min. or until done (160ºF).

BACON-WRAPPED MINI MEATLOAF

Steps:

• In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook carrots and onion until tender and golden about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
• In a bowl, use your hands to combine the turkey, egg, parsley, breadcrumbs, chili sauce and the cooled onion mixture until just blended. Do not overwork or the mixture will become tough when cooked. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into thick patty, about 3-inches across. Wrap a slice of bacon around the edge of the each patty. To freeze, wrap individual patties in plastic wrap and store in a resealable plastic freezer bag.
• .
• Remove plastic wrap from frozen patties and place them on a grease rimmed baking sheet and bake in a preheated 375F oven until cooked through and patties reach an internal temperature of 165F, 40-45 minutes. If baking from fresh, cook 35-40 minutes. Serve with baked sweet potatoes and broccolini, if desired.

MINI-MEAT LOAVES WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the meat with onion, garlic, ground black pepper, taco seasoning mix, ketchup, Worcestershire and beaten eggs.
• Add bread crumbs and mix well. (You will need to use your hands and knead it up well). Roll the meat into 12 mini-loaves that fit into your mini-loaves baking pan, (or use a shallow baking tray with a rack to drain the grease from the bacon).
• MY NOTE: I partially cooked the bacon slices separately in a skillet and drained all the excess of fat, (or add the bacon cut in pieces into the meat, if you prefer).
• Bake the mini loaves in a 350ºF. pre-heated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes until they are well cooked from the center and bacon slices look crispy and attached around the loaves.
• Serve with steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes, if like.
• Note: Chris says: "It is sort of like a tiny self contained bacon burger".
• And thanks to the reviewers for their good suggestions to improve this recipe.

GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED MINI MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Heat grill for indirect grilling. Light one side of grill, leaving other side unlit. Close lid; heat grill to 425ºF.
• Whisk eggs and milk in large bowl until blended. Add ground beef, stuffing mix, cheese, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, garlic powder and onion powder; mix lightly. Shape into 8 balls, using about 1/2 cup meat mixture for each.
• Make an "X" with 2 bacon halves; place ball in center of "X". Bring ends of bacon up loosely over top; secure with toothpick. Place in single layer in disposable foil pan.
• Place foil pan on grate over unlit area; cover. Grill 40 min., monitoring grill for consistent temperature. Brush with remaining barbecue sauce; grill 5 min. or until meatloaves are done (160ºF). Remove toothpicks before serving.
