This bacon wrapped mini meatloaf recipe is a delicious twist on the classic meatloaf, combining ground pork and beef formed into individual portions wrapped in bacon. It’s quick to make, freezer-friendly, and perfect for family dinners or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound lean ground beef
  
  

• 3/4 pound lean ground pork (or all beef if preferred)
  
  

• 1 medium onion, diced
  
  

• 1 egg
  
  

• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  
  

• 1 cup milk
  
  

• Salt and pepper, to taste
  
  

• 8 slices bacon
  
  

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together ground meat, onion, egg, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and milk using clean hands until well combined.
   
   

2. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a mini meatloaf on a baking sheet.
   
   

3. Cut each bacon slice in half. Arrange each half in a criss-cross pattern over each mini meatloaf and tuck the ends underneath.
   
   

4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 minutes.
   
   

5. For extra crispy bacon, broil for 3-5 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
   
   

6. Remove from oven, let rest briefly, and serve.
