How to Make Bacon Wrapped Pork Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon dried sage, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon dried thyme.
  3. Stir in ½ cup applesauce, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions.
  4. Mix well to combine.
  5. Add 1 ½ pounds ground pork and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Form the mixture into a loaf shape on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Wrap the pork loaf tightly with 6-8 slices of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks.

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.
