Servings: 6-8
Ingredients
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, chopped
- Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons
- Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons
- Ketchup
- 1/2 cup
- Egg
- 1, beaten
- Breadcrumbs
- 1 cup
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Onion
- 1 medium, finely chopped
- Bacon
- 8 slices
- Ground beef
- 2 pounds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Carefully wrap the bacon slices around the meatloaf, overlapping them slightly to ensure the entire surface is covered for maximum flavor and moisture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). To ensure the bacon is crispy, you can broil the meatloaf for an additional 5 minutes at the end of cooking.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute and makes for a more tender slice.
- Serve the bacon wrapped meatloaf alongside your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and green beans, and enjoy!
