For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a touch of smoked paprika to the meatloaf mixture. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) for optimal safety and texture. Letting the meatloaf rest allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful slice.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) with rack in center position. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepCook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels; reserve drippings in skillet. (15 minutes)
03
StepHeat drippings over medium-high heat. Add celery; sauté until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside. (10 minutes)
04
StepCombine bread crumbs, milk, eggs, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, onion powder, and celery in a large bowl; mix well. (5 minutes)
05
StepCrumble beef and pork into bread crumb mixture; combine using your hands, making sure not to overmix. Form into a loaf; place into the prepared pan. Place bacon strips, lengthwise, on top of loaf. (10 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. (30 minutes)
07
StepMeanwhile, combine ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl; mix well. (5 minutes)
08
StepRemove loaf from oven; drain any fat bubbling on top and around edges. Continue baking for 25 minutes more. Drain fat again; spoon or brush brown sugar glaze evenly over top. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (30 minutes)
09
StepContinue baking until no longer pink in center, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Rest before cutting and serving, at least 10 minutes. (30 minutes)
