Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf

Step 1

Preheat oven or grill to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean up.

Step 2

Melt butter in saute pan over medium heat. Cook onions until fragrant and slightly brown while stirring occasionally, about 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add garlic, cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and cooked onions and garlic. Use hands to mix well, but try not to over work the meat. Divide into six equal sized portions and shape into disks.

Step 4

Wrap bacon slices around edge of disks. Diameter of meatloaf should be so that the bacon ends just meet or slightly overlap.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine ketchup with mustard and brown sugar. Divide equally and spread over the tops of the mini meatloaves. Sprinkle tops with crispy fried onions.

Step 6

Bake in preheated oven or grill until bacon is just golden, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
