Bbq Bacon Meatloaf Recipes

BBQ BACON MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Begin by cooking the bacon. I like to roast mine on a sheet pan prepped with parchment paper for ease of clean up. It only takes about 10-15 minutes at 350ºF, depending on the thickness of your bacon. You want the bacon cooked, but not overly crispy. You want some of that fat to cook out into the meatloaf to keep it moist. When the bacon is finished cooking, place the slices on a paper towel lined plate, and set aside to cool.
• While the bacon is cooking, prep the veggies. Finely dice 1/2 cup of red onion, and cut the mushrooms in half. You can chop the mushrooms by hand, but I like to pulse them in the food processor a few times to get a super fine dice since I want them to disappear into the meatloaf.
• Add the onion to a small skillet heated over medium heat with a drizzle of cooking fat. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, then add the minced garlic and mushrooms. Cook another 4-5 minutes, and remove from the heat to cool.
• Next, dice the Cabot Sharp Cheddar Cheese into approximately quarter-inch chunks. You want some pockets of cheesy deliciousness in the meatloaf.
• Finally, chop the bacon into about quarter-inch pieces.
• Add all the ingredients (half the barbecue sauce), except the cheddar cheese, to a large bowl, and mix well to combine. The easiest way to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated is to just get in there with your hands. Once everything is combined, gently fold in the cheese.
• I like to create one giant meatball, then place it in a parchment lined 9 x 9 baking dish. Press down to create a circular meatloaf, pressing in on the edges with one hand while you flatten with the other to keep the loaf constrained. You should end up with about a two-inch loaf in the center of your baking dish. Top the meatloaf with the remaining 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce.
• Place the meatloaf in a preheated 350ºF oven, and bake for 45 minutes. Check the internal temperature of the meatloaf with a meat thermometer. When it reaches 150ºF, remove it from the oven, and brush with the additional barbecue sauce. Return to the oven and bake an additional 10 minutes.
• Let the meatloaf rest for 7-10 minutes before serving. Do make sure your meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160ºF.

BBQ BACON-WRAPPED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x11-inch baking dish.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until edges just start to curl, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. Reserve about 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in the skillet.
• Cook and stir onion and garlic in the bacon drippings until onion is softened, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
• Mix cooled onion and garlic, ground beef, 1/2 cup barbeque sauce, bread crumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, oregano, and chili powder together with your hands in a large bowl. Form beef mixture into a log-shaped meatloaf; place in the prepared baking dish.
• Wrap partially-cooked bacon slices around the meatloaf, tucking the ends of bacon underneath the loaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Brush bacon-wrapped meatloaf with 3 tablespoons barbeque sauce. Continue baking until no longer pink in the center, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
