Delicious bacon-wrapped meatloaf with a tangy ketchup sauce coating that is cooked to perfection! Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf Recipe This delicious meatloaf is a great treat for everyone in the family and a fun way to dish up what can be an otherwise ordinary ground beef meatloaf. The slightly sweet, slightly tangy ketchup glaze adds just that extra special bit of yummy deliciousness to make this meatloaf anything but ordinary! I have included my favorite method for cooking my meatloaf below, where the meat is placed on a rack to allow all of the grease to drain away from the meat while cooking. It saves the extra step of having to drain off the fat while cooking, especially when you use a fattier hamburger. I like to use ground chuck for most of my ground beef recipes, which is an 85/15 ratio of meat to fat. Meaning I would end up with a lot of grease if I made this in a loaf pan!! To Make Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf Preheat your oven to 375 ºF ( 190 ºC ) and line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with slices of bacon.

In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with breadcrumbs, finely minced yellow onion, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Combine just enough to incorporate all of the ingredients.

In a small bowl, combine ketchup, light brown sugar and smoked paprika. Use ⅓ of the ketchup glaze in the bottom of the bacon lined loaf pan.

Transfer the ground beef mixture into the bacon lined loaf pan on top of the ketchup glaze. Fill the loaf pan, then wrap remaining edges of the bacon in over the bottom of the formed loaf.

Using a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil, cover the top of the loaf pan and flip to a smooth working surface. Gently lift the loaf pan away from the formed meatloaf.

Transfer the meatloaf ( on the parchment paper or aluminum foil ) onto a wire rack in a baking dish.

Top the meatloaf with the remaining ketchup glaze.

Bake at 375 ºF ( 190 ºC ) for 45 - 55 minutes. Your meatloaf should have an internal temperature ( taken at the center of the meatloaf ) that is a minimum of 160 ºF ( 71 ºC ) as read by a digital meat thermometer. See USDA food safety guidelines for recommended safe internal food temperatures. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
