Ingredients
- • Ground beef: 1 lb
- • Ground pork: 1/2 lb
- • Onion: 1 small, finely chopped
- • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- • Worcestershire sauce: 2 tbsp
- • Italian seasoning: 1 tbsp
- • Salt: 1 tsp
- • Black pepper: 1/2 tsp
- • Cheddar cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- • Bacon: 12 strips
- • Egg: 1, beaten
- • Bread crumbs: 1/2 cup
- • Milk: 1/4 cup
- • Fresh parsley: 2 tbsp, chopped
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- 3 Add the beaten egg, bread crumbs, and milk to the meat mixture. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated and the mixture is slightly sticky.
- 4 Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a small rectangle on a piece of wax paper or a clean surface.
- 5 Place a small handful of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of each meat rectangle, then carefully roll the meat around the cheese, sealing the edges to form a meatloaf roll.
- 6 Wrap each meatloaf roll with a strip of bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
- 7 Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the meat is cooked through. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
- 8 Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a touch of color and freshness.
Serving Suggestions
- • These bacon-wrapped meatloaf rolls pair beautifully with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or a crisp, tangy coleslaw to balance the richness. For a complete meal, add some sautéed green beans or roasted Brussels sprouts. As for beverages, a robust red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon or a dark ale enhances the deep flavors of the meatloaf rolls.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. For a quicker option, use a microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes, though the bacon may not be as crispy.
