For an extra layer of flavor, brush the meatloaf with a tangy BBQ sauce during the last 15 minutes of baking. Feel free to experiment with different types of ground meat, such as ground turkey or veal. Add finely diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the meatloaf mixture for added texture and nutrients.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, pork sausage, crushed crackers, ketchup, chopped onion, eggs, onion powder, and garlic powder until just mixed. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture. Shape the mixture into a loaf. (10 minutes)
03
Step
15 mins
On a baking sheet, weave bacon strips into a basket weave pattern. Carefully place the meatloaf in the center of the bacon weave. Gently lift the bacon weave and wrap it around the meatloaf, securing it as best as possible. Transfer the bacon-wrapped meatloaf to a loaf pan. (15 minutes)
04
Step
1 hrs 30 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf to check for doneness. (90 minutes)
05
Step
10 mins
Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before carefully flipping it onto a serving platter. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and moist meatloaf. (10 minutes)
