How to Make Bacon Wrapped Sausage Meatloaf
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a small loaf tin (approximately 9x5 inches).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Carefully slice open 500g of sausages and remove the meat from the casings. Place the sausage meat in a large bowl.
- Add the cooked onion, 2 tablespoons of tomato puree, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, ½ cup breadcrumbs, and 1 large egg to the bowl.
- Season generously with salt and pepper (adjust to taste, depending on your sausage meat). Mix everything thoroughly with your hands.
- Shape the mixture into a large sausage, roughly the length of your loaf tin.
- Wrap the sausage tightly with 150g of bacon rashers.
- Place the bacon-wrapped sausage in the prepared loaf tin.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the meat is cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read 75°C (165°F).
- Let the meatloaf rest in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out and slicing. Serve immediately with your favorite accompaniments.
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.
