Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Sausage Meatloaf

  • Vegetable Oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • Sausage
  • 2 tablespoons tomato puree
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Fresh Breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • Seasoning
  • Streaky Bacon

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Sausage Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a small loaf tin (approximately 9x5 inches).
  2. 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.
  3. Carefully slice open 500g of sausages and remove the meat from the casings. Place the sausage meat in a large bowl.
  4. Add the cooked onion, 2 tablespoons of tomato puree, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, ½ cup breadcrumbs, and 1 large egg to the bowl.
  5. Season generously with salt and pepper (adjust to taste, depending on your sausage meat). Mix everything thoroughly with your hands.
  6. Shape the mixture into a large sausage, roughly the length of your loaf tin.
  7. Wrap the sausage tightly with 150g of bacon rashers.
  8. Place the bacon-wrapped sausage in the prepared loaf tin.
  9. 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).
  10. 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.
