Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.75 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 slices Bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, gluten-free breadcrumbs, and milk. Stir to blend well.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.
Using your hands, gently mix all the ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overworking the mixture to keep the meatloaf tender.
Shape the mixture into a loaf form and place it into a 9x13-inch baking dish or rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Wrap the bacon slices over the meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath. If necessary, trim the bacon so it fits neatly.
Sprinkle the top of the bacon-wrapped loaf with the brown sugar, spreading it evenly over the surface.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, making it juicier.
Slice and serve the bacon-wrapped meatloaf warm. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free meal!
