Please let me know if you make it and take pictures to show me! Also, go ahead and give some love to the blogger who inspired me to make this Meatloaf Wrapped In Bacon!!

Because I broiled this for the last 4 minutes or so, the bacon was crisp and really good! So, I highly recommend broiling it!!

    I have not made meatloaf in a while. My mom always made it. I am sure my husband would enjoy this recipe!

    My hubby is a extreme bacon lover…in fact, we’ve been all over the country for various bacon festivals (he runs a bacon blog)…I can honestly say that bacon covered meatloaf is amazing. I think I’ve experienced just about everything you could imagine bacon wrapped around (even bacon wrapped oreo’s and bacon sushi *which was shockingly awesome*). Anyway, writing this to say, if you have any doubts, don’t. Please give this a try. It’s SO good! 🙂

    I love the sound of the glaze with the bacon. We’ve always just done ketchup on top of meatloaf but that tangier version sounds great!

    This looks so good!
    And I have bacon in the freezer so will be making for sure.
    Thanks for the recipe.
