Tips for making bacon wrapped meatloaf:

• Use ground beef that is 85% lean to ensure a juicy meatloaf.
• Don’t over mix the mixture or it can become tough and dry.
• Use regular cut bacon, the thick bacon can become more chewy.
• Let is rest before slicing, so all the juices seep back into the meat.

Can you freeze meatloaf?

Meatloaf makes a great freezer meal either fully cooked or raw ready to bake. Wrap each loaf in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Then wrap in foil.

If raw: Thaw in refrigerator and place on a baking sheet and bake according the the directions.

Fully cooked: thaw in refrigerator and warm in oven or microwave.
