Ingredients
- Meatloaf
- 12 strips bacon
- 2 lbs lean ground beef
- ½ cup yellow onion, finely diced
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Juicy meatloaf wrapped in crispy bacon and glazed with a sweet and savory Honey Garlic Ketchup Glaze, with options to bake or grill for the ultimate comfort dish.
Directions
- Prepare glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Weber® Honey Garlic Rub. Set aside.
- Mix meatloaf: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, half of the Honey Garlic Ketchup Glaze, salt, and garlic powder. Mix until evenly incorporated. Shape the mixture into a loaf.
- Wrap in bacon: Place the meatloaf on a wire rack over a baking tray or a grill-safe pan. Wrap the loaf in bacon strips, tucking the ends underneath to secure.
- Bake option: Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. Remove, brush with remaining glaze, and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Grill option: Preheat grill to medium heat, 350°F–375°F, and set up for indirect cooking. Place the bacon-wrapped meatloaf on the cooler side of the grill and cook for 40–50 minutes, brushing with glaze during the last 10 minutes. Rotate occasionally for even cooking. The meatloaf is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Serve: Let the meatloaf rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve. Enjoy the perfect combination of smoky bacon, savory beef, and sweet honey garlic glaze!
Tips & Tricks
- For extra flavor sprinkle additional Weber® Honey Garlic Rub on the bacon before cooking.
