INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 🥓 5 slices bacon
    • 🥩 1 pound lean ground beef
  • Vegetables & Aromatics

    • 🧅 1 onion, chopped
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Condiments & Spices

    • 🧴 ½ cup barbecue sauce
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • ½ teaspoon chili powder (Optional)
    • 🧴 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • Binders & Fillers

    • 🍞 ½ cup soft bread crumbs
    • 🥚 2 eggs, beaten

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x11-inch baking dish.

2

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until edges just start to curl, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain partially cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve about 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in the skillet.

3

Cook and stir onion and garlic in the bacon drippings until onion is softened, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.

4

Mix cooled onion and garlic, ground beef, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, bread crumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, oregano, and chili powder together with your hands in a large bowl until well combined.

5

Form beef mixture into a log-shaped meatloaf; place in the prepared baking dish.

6

Wrap partially cooked bacon slices around meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath.

7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.

8

Brush bacon-wrapped meatloaf with 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce. Continue baking until no longer pink in the center, about 10 more minutes.

9

Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
