Ingredients
- 1 small onion (finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 cup crushed crackers (saltines or Ritz)
- ½ g reen bell pepper (finely diced)
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste )
- 8 to 10 slices bacon
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- ⅓ cup chili sauce
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
-
Combine the glaze ingredients and set aside.
-
In a small skillet, cook the onion in oil over medium heat for 5 minutes or until tender—this step is optional but produces a milder onion flavor. Cool completely.
-
In a large bowl, add the cooled onion, beef, cracker crumbs, bell pepper, eggs, milk, parsley, Italian seasoning, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, ¼ cup of glaze, and salt and pepper. Using your hands, very gently mix until combined.
-
Line a rimmed baking pan with foil and top with metal rack. Add a piece of parchment paper just slightly larger than your meat loaf will be.
-
Form beef into a 9x5-inch loaf and place on the parchment paper. Brush with glaze.
-
Wrap meatloaf with bacon tucking the ends under the bottom of the loaf. Brush the loaf with the glaze mixture and bake 45 minutes.
-
Brush again with glaze and bake another 30 minutes or until meatloaf reaches 160°F.
-
Rest 15 minutes before slicing.
