Bacon-wrapped Meatloaf
Equipment
- Baking tray
- Aluminum Foil
Ingredients
- 2.25 lbs ground beef
- 1.33 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp salt
- 0.5 tbsp pepper
- 2 eggs
- 7 oz ham
- 5 oz cheese (6 slices)
- 3.5 oz baby spinach
- 14 oz bacon
Instructions
- Mix the ground beef with breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and eggs.
- Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and press the ground beef mixture into a thin, flat surface. Then add a layer each of ham, cheese, and baby spinach.
- Using the aluminum foil, roll the entire sheet of beef into a giant log, sealing the ends with ground beef so the other ingredients don't seep out during cooking.
- Replacing the aluminum foil flat on the baking tray, cover the entire surface with bacon, overlapping the slices so that the bacon layer forms a continuous sheet. Then place the meatloaf at one end and roll along the bacon, holding the aluminum foil as a guide, until the bacon is wrapped around the entire meatloaf.
- Wrap in aluminum foil and bake at 390°F for 60 minutes, removing the foil after 30 minutes so that the bacon crisps up nicely.
