How to Make Bacon Wrapped Little Loaves
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground sausage, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon dried sage, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
- Shape the mixture into 6 small loaves (approximately 3x2 inches).
- Cut 12 slices of bacon in half. Crisscross 2 half-slices of bacon over each loaf, tucking the ends underneath.
- Place the loaves on a wire rack set inside a shallow baking pan. Bake uncovered for 50 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the loaves are cooked through.
- Let the loaves stand for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow them to set.
- **For make-ahead:** Place the unbaked loaves (with bacon) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flash freeze until firm (about 2 hours).
- Transfer the frozen loaves to a freezer bag, label, and freeze for up to 3 months.
- **To reheat:** Place frozen loaves on a baking pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bacon is crispy. Alternatively, reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
