Indulge in rich, cheesy bacon-wrapped meatloaf rolls fresh from the oven. A savory comfort food experience you can't resist!
Ingredients
- • ground beef: 1 pound (80% lean)
- • ground pork: 1/2 pound
- • breadcrumbs: 1/2 cup
- • egg: 1 large
- • Worcestershire sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • onion powder: 1 teaspoon
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup
- • bacon strips: 12 slices
- • homemade bread dough: prepared (enough for 6 rolls)
- • unsalted butter: 1/4 cup
- • garlic cloves: 2, minced
- • fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overwork the meat.
- 3 Roll out your homemade bread dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick. Spread the meat mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border on all sides.
- 4 Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the meat layer. Carefully roll the dough from one long side to the other, creating a log shape. Pinch the seams to seal.
- 5 Cut the log into 6 equal slices. Wrap each slice with a bacon strip, securing with a toothpick if necessary, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- 6 Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the meat is cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- 7 While the rolls are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the chopped parsley.
- 8 Once the rolls are done, brush the garlic butter glaze generously over each roll. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Cheesy Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf Rolls are a meal in themselves, but they pair beautifully with a side of tangy coleslaw or creamy mashed potatoes to complement their rich flavors. For a touch of freshness, consider serving with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette. As for beverages, a robust red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon or an IPA beer can stand up to the bold flavors of this dish.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, allow the rolls to cool completely before wrapping them individually in aluminum foil or placing them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. For reheating, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm the rolls on a baking sheet for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving as it may make the bread soggy.
