Mini Meatloaves Wrapped in Bacon

Yes - good as it sounds. These are super easy and sooooo good with mashed potatoes (and a salad or something so that you don't feel too bad about the rest of it). This is from Fine Cooking. You can use mini loaf pans (which I don't own) or ramekins. You could also use a muffin tin if you want to make them really really mini!

8 slices of bacon
1/2 chopped onion
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 cup breadcrumbs or panko
1 egg
3 tbsp ketchup
1/2 tsp Worcestershire
Salt and pepper
1 lb ground beef (pref. 85% lean) or meatloaf mix (beef, pork, veal)

1. Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Arrange bacon on sheet and bake until crisp along edges, about 10 mins. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to cool.

2. In a food processor, pulse onion and garlic. Add breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Pulse a few times to blend. Transfer to a bowl, add the meat and mix until combined.

3. Spray your ramekins or pans with cooking spray. Cross two slices of bacon in each, across the bottom and up the sides. Let an excess hang over. Pack in the meatloaf and fold the bacon over the top.

4. Bake about half hour or until meat is 165. let cool and remove from pans. When finished top with equal parts ketchup and bbq sauce.
