Instructions to make Bacon Wrapped Mini Meatloaf:
- The Sauce : okay people. This will be your longest step of this miraculous journey but I assure you that half ass-ing it will only be to your detriment. Here we go!
- Heat a very large, very deep skillet at medium high. Add the half prepared onions, 1 bulb garlic (should be about 5 to 10 cloves of garlic per bulb), tomatoes and mushrooms to pan. Add tomato paste and 1 tbsp salt. Stir together well.
- Moving on to your FRESH herbs: take each bunch and cut into two parts. Chop finely. Add one half of each bunch into your sauce and stir. Save the rest for later.
- Allow your sauce to come to a low boil then turn down to low (if your stove range is number based, I suggest a 2). DO NOT COVER. Expect some sauce bubbles to decorate your stove top. Get over it. Next I want you to netflix binge for the next 1 1/2 hours or so while getting up to stir occasionally. Everything will cook down and thicken and you will be a better person for finishing Orange is the New Black.
- Sauce should be good. Turn off stove refrigerate overnite. You worked hard. Pat yourself on the back, handsome.
- The Meats: cook your bacon until about halfway done, place on paper towels to cool. My double jack and coke enabled me to be so bold as to sprinkle brown sugar on mine while cooking. It was awesome and I highly suggest it. After cooling rip (or cut) into strip length wise.
- In a large bowl combine the remaining onion, garlic, salt and herbs. Also add the egg, mustard, hamburger meat and Italian sausage. Crumble your white bread and add as well. Mix together with your hands. Congratulations. You've made a huge meatgasm and there is no going back.
- The Assembly: alright kiddos you're almost there. Take your huge bowl of delicious meat tar tare and roll into small balls. About the size of golf balls. Now take your individual bacon strip and wrap it around each ball, gently pressing in on the sides, then gently flatten the top so it will all stay together. This will take finesse but I have every confidence in you. You are very pretty.
- Place on cookie sheet, wrap foil over and bake at 375 for approximately 40 minutes. Take out of oven and uncover.
- In a 13x9 glass dish, pour your tomato sauce. Carefully place each wrapped ball into dish on top of sauce. Now at this point, I put a thin slice of FRESH mozzarella on the tops and garnished with an ever so pretentious amount of parsely…but each to their own. I rely solely on the compliments of strangers and this seemed to illicit the highest amount.
- Now bake, uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is nicely melted. This extra time also gives your bacon a chance to crisp. Keep an eye out though. Don't want to burn the goods.
- Can you believe it? You're done! And it only took you 12 steps and a day and a half! Guess what though? You just created something so delicious and pretty to look at it's absurd. You will make this again, trust me for all shall bow to your greatness. I realize this meal isn't cheap or the best choice for an easily put together family meal, but it is one that will give you the edge. And that's power.
