How To Make bacon wrapped meatloaf

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350'.
  • 2
    Mix meats, onion, celery, red pepper, cheese and spices. Set aside.
  • 3
    Combine 1 can of tomato sauce with egg.
  • 4
    Add crushed Ritz to meat mixture, add tomato mixture and combine. Using your hands is the easiest method.
  • 5
    Lay strips of bacon in bottom and up the sides of a foil loaf pan making sure ends hang over the sides of pan. Add meat mixure, fold ends of bacon over top of meat. Bake for 60 minutes. I use 2 foil pans, a loaf pan for the meatloaf and a larger one to put the loaf pan in. Poke holes in the bottom of the loaf pan prior to adding meat mixture. Grease will drain into larger foil pan as it cooks, leaving virtually no clean up mess.
