Ingredients
-
1 pound ground beef
-
½ pound ground pork sausage
-
1 sleeve crushed buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®)
-
⅔ cup ketchup
-
½ cup chopped onion
-
2 eggs
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
12 slices thick-cut bacon
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Combine beef, sausage, crackers, ketchup, onion, eggs, onion powder, and garlic powder in a large bowl until mixed thoroughly, using hands for best results. Form mixture into a loaf shape.
-
Weave bacon strips into a basket weave pattern. Place meatloaf in the center; carefully lift and transfer to a loaf pan so that bacon is on the bottom and sides of the pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 1/2 hours, or until no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Allow to sit for 5 minutes before carefully flipping onto a platter.
Cook’s Note
I prefer to use tomato-vegetable juice cocktail (such as V-8 juice) in place of ketchup.
