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.
