My 12 year old really loves meatloaf. It's right up there at the top of the best things in life, in his book. My husband has never been able to understand why meatloaf doesn't taste like meat (bread fillers, of course). So, I came up with this recipe, and there were no leftovers for Ryan's lunch today. Poor Thor didn't even get much in the way of scrap.
BACON MEATLOAF3 pounds ground beef
1/3 pound white cheddar cheese
1/2 onion
1 egg
1 tsp salt
6 to 8 strips raw bacon
In the food processor, chop the onion and cheese (add the egg to make the process faster). Mix this mess with the beef and salt, and form into a loaf. Cover the top of the meatloaf in strips of bacon, and cook at 350F for about an hour.
I served this with green beans and heart attack potatoes. This dinner gave new meaning to my daughter's phrase "heart attack goodness on a plate!"

What is it with these growing boys and their carnivorous ways? I'll give this a shot for Ryan's counterpart in my house ... what's not to love? Beef, bacon, and eggs are all foods he lives for! (In fact, that's what he'll eat on his burgers!) Love the addition of cheese here. I could have used this last night as I was staring at the ground beef and drawing a blank.
I love it! Heart attack goodness on a plate. I can almost smell how wonderful this meal is. I call it a well balanced meal full of love.
Now that's a meal. I love the bacon on top!
Mmmmm... my guy would definitely love this one! I haven't made meatloaf in a coon's age, so I think I might give it a go, for dinner tonight!
too bad about the leftovers because the only thing better than meatloaf is meatloaf the next day....
No meatloaf sandwiches...it must have been so good!
Really you should make enough for the required meatloaf sandwiches.
Oh, i just LOVE meatloaf, and that version looks just scrumptious. What a fantastic idea!
That recipe is like crack cocaine for a guy who likes food! I self baste turkey, chicken, pork roast, etc. with bacon- no complaints!
Bacon wrapped meatloaf sounds great!
heart attack on a plate, indeed! good thing you included those healthy-shmealthy green beans. :)
No bread crumbs?? FANTASTIC. I love it!! Have to try this recipe out soon... it looks and sounds sooo good. I'm drooling all over my keyboard now... you're a genius.
Mmmm, this looks delicious. I'm going to try this recipe.
I have only one thing to say - YUM!
