Ingredients for Bacon Burger Meatloaf Or Meatballs

  • 2 lbs (900g) ground beef
  • Mushroom
  • 4 oz (115g) bacon, chopped
  • Dried Parsley
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Oatmeal

How to Make Bacon Burger Meatloaf Or Meatballs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Chop 8 oz (225g) of mushrooms and 4 oz (115g) of bacon. Add to 2 lbs (900g) of ground beef.
  3. Add 1 cup (240ml) ketchup, 1/4 cup (60ml) brown sugar, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp burger seasoning, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. **For Meatloaf:** Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F (71°C).
  5. **For Meatballs:** Roll the remaining meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs. You can either pan-fry them in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, or bake them on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Serve your delicious meatloaf or meatballs with your favorite sides. Leftovers can be frozen for later.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
