This bacon wrapped mini meatloaf dish is so good. The filling is moist from the bacon in the filling and the outside is crispy from the bacon that wraps the meatloaf. There is a lot of bacon in this dish, so I would consider this dish one that I would not make often, but only certain occasions. I like that they are made in a muffin tin so it’s easier to control portions. As you can probably tell from a few of my recent posts such as such as Mini Lasagna and Focaccia Bites, I like working with muffin pans.
Bacon is definitely the star in these cute little mini meatloaves. Not only is bacon used to wrap the meatloaf, it is also used in the filling. Ground beef, chives, coconut milk and garlic are also incorporated in the tasty filling. After lining the muffin tin with slices of bacon, the tin is filled with the beef mixture. Then, it is baked in the oven for 25-30 minutes. The result is eight perfect little miniature meatloaves. Enjoy!
