Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf


Serves 9

Ingredients:
* 1 lb ground beef
*2 eggs
* 1/2 cup diced onion
* 1/4 cup ketchup
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1 teaspoon onion powder
* 37 saltine crackers, crushed
* 1 lb bacon

Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. In a large bowl mix ground beef, eggs, diced onions, ketchup, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mixing
    with your hands is best. Mix it real well..

3. Crush the crackers. I always crush the crackers while still in their sleeve..

4. Pour crushed crackers into beef. Mix the crackers into the beef mixture well..

5. Form into a loaf shape and set to the side..

6. Take the bacon and divide it into even amount..

7. Take 1 half of the bacon and lay side by side long ways..

8. Fold every other bacon strip in half..

9. Lay 1 of the other half of the reserved bacon strips across..

10. Unfold the half folded bacon strip..

11. Fold the other every other bacon strips that were not folded in the previous step..

12. Lay a slice of bacon across and then unfold..

13. Repeat until you run out of room..

14. Start on the other half of the bacon strip until you have made a weave..

15. Pace the loaf shaped beef mixture into the center on your bacon weave..

16. Wrap the weave around the beef loaf shaped mixture..

17. Flip the bacon wrapped meat loaf upside down,making the ends of the bacon tuck under the loaf..

18. Place the loaf in the center of the oven on a cookie sheet..

19. It takes about an hour to cook..

20. To make sure it is cooked all the way through, I sometimes use a meat thermometer but that isn't really         needed. Sometimes I leave it in for 15 more minutes if I am worried it isn't cooked all the way.
