Bacon-wrapped Meatloaf
This is another classic American recipe that Cookpad has inspired me to try. Although there are lots of delicious-looking recipes up here already I also looked up versions that use UK ingredients and measurements and used bits from quite a few that I liked best. I used dried herbs rather than fresh, cooked the onion and celery first, and grated the carrot so they melted into the meat as it baked. The result was a beautifully flavoured, moist meatloaf, which we ate with mashed potato and carrot, onion gravy and buttered cabbage. Can't wait for leftovers tomorrow!

- 1
Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently cook the onion, celery and garlic. Avoid browning.
- 2
Mix the ketchup, vinegar and brown sugar together in a small bowl. This is for glazing the meatloaf before cooking.
- 3
Place the two meats and breadcrumbs in a large bowl, add the herbs and season with plenty of salt and white and black pepper.
- 4
Add the onion, celery and garlic mixture to the bowl of meat with the dried herbs, half a teaspoon of salt and some white and or black pepper.
- 5
In another bowl mix together the egg, yogurt, mustard, Worcestershire sauce.
- 6
Add the egg mixture to the bowl of meat, together with the grated carrot. Mix together well, with your hands is best. Cook a tiny piece in the onion pan to check the seasoning. Preheat the oven to 160C/Gas 3.
- 7
Line a baking tray that has sides with baking parchment or foil, then shape the mixture into a loaf shape inside it. Brush with the ketchup mixture, then cover with bacon, tucking the ends underneath the loaf.
- 8
Brush the top and sides with more ketchup glaze, then place in the oven. Cook for an hour and 20 minutes until browned and sizzling. I turned the heat up to 180C/Gas 4 for the last 20 minutes of cooking time.
- 9
Allow the meatloaf to stand for 15-20 minutes while you cook accompaniments. I served with onion gravy, mashed potato and carrot, and steamed cabbage. Lovely.
