Bacon-wrapped meatloaf

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Fry the finely diced vegetables in oil on a low-moderate heat for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently until the veg is soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 2

In a large bowl combine the cooled veg and all other ingredients except bacon. Best to use your hands to throughly mix all ingredients together.

Step 3

Line a loaf pan or plastic rectangular container with cling wrap. Line with the streaky bacon. Fill the pan with the meatloaf mix, pressing down lightly and making sure the mix is spread into the corners. Fold over any overlapping bacon. Cover with cling wrap and pat down to smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 200C. Line a baking tray with baking paper or foil. Remove cling wrap from meatloaf and upturn it onto the baking tray. Bake for at least 50 minutes or until bacon is cooked to your liking.

Step 5

Once cooked, remove from oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Remove to plate or board and slice thickly. Serve with salad, tomato sauce and anything else you like.

Step 6

Make ahead: can be refrigerated raw overnight or frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost before cooking.
