The mother of all comfort foods! So moist and flavorful and wrapped in 10 pieces of bacon love. Easy enough for a family weeknight meal or perfect for guests.

This is the best meatloaf you'll ever try. And if you have any leftovers, it makes an amazing meatloaf sandwich. The bacon adds so much flavor and the sauce gives it the perfect zing.

Tips for making bacon-wrapped meatloaf:

Use ground beef that is 80%-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 a little 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. Freeze for up to 3 months.

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

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