Savory Bacon-Wrapped Homestyle Meatloaf

  • Serving: Pair your bacon-wrapped meatloaf with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad. It’s also delicious with a drizzle of extra glaze or gravy.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

  • Reheating: Warm individual slices in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or heat gently in the microwave.

  • Freezing: To freeze, wrap the cooled meatloaf tightly in foil or plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Variations

  • Spicy Kick: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or a tablespoon of hot sauce to the meat mixture.

  • Cheesy Center: Place a layer of shredded cheddar or mozzarella in the middle of the loaf before baking.

  • BBQ Style: Replace the ketchup glaze with your favorite BBQ sauce for a smoky, tangy twist.

  • Turkey Option: Use lean ground turkey for a lighter version while keeping the bacon for flavor.
