How to Make Bacon Wrapped Meat Loaf

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Shape the meat mixture into a rectangular loaf (approximately 9x5 inches).
  4. Prepare a grill basket or use heavy-duty aluminum foil to create a grilling packet.
  5. Line the bottom of the grill basket/foil with 6-8 slices of bacon.
  6. Place the meatloaf on top of the bacon.
  7. Arrange 2 medium sliced tomatoes over the meatloaf and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  8. Top with 1 medium sliced onion and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  9. Cover the meatloaf completely with the remaining 6-8 slices of bacon.
  10. Close the grill basket or carefully seal the foil packet.
  11. Grill for 30-45 minutes, turning the basket or packet every 10 minutes, until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and the bacon is crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
