Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf Dinner (Paleo)

Bacon wrapped meatloaf patties are baked in the oven along with sweet potatoes and green beans.

Meatloaf got an update and it is Paleo, healthy and easy!

Bacon wrapped meatloaf is the way to go

I didn’t grow up eating a lot of meatloaf. It is more of an American dish than a Greek dish. I don’t think it was ever a favorite dish as we rarely had it and my mom never strayed from the recipe she was given. We always ate your typical meatloaf; the beefy kind with the ketchup on top. We ate it because we had to, not because we particularly liked it.

As I started venturing into the world of cooking I realized meatloaf can be made with almost anything. Beef and ketchup are not requirements. If you search, you can find a meatloaf recipe that will fit your every whim and taste. Meatloaf with turkey, pork, vegetables, chicken, Italian sausage etc. No one has to limit themselves to just plain old beef loaf and ketchup!

Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf is out of the ordinary

Today I’m sharing more of a take on meatloaf with these bacon-wrapped meatloaf patties. Lean ground beef is lightly seasoned and shaped into hearty patties than surrounded with bacon slices. I baked these in the oven along with sweet potatoes and green beans for a complete and simple meal.

Notes About The Recipe:

For the strict Paleo eaters, you want to search for grass-fed beef. I know in general, grass-fed tends to be more expensive so don’t sweat it, just be sure to use lean ground beef.

The beef is lightly seasoned, the bacon will help to add moisture and seasoning to each patty.

On the subject of bacon, try to use the leanest bacon possible. If your beef and bacon are on the fattier side, then you will end up with that same grease on your baking sheet and ultimately on your sweet potatoes and green beans. You could easily place a rack on top of your baking sheet to catch drips if you prefer.

I did not add a ketchup topping to my patty’s, mostly because my family prefers to forgo the sauce, feel free to add whatever sauce makes you happy!

For true convenience, you could also try Parmesan Herb Roasted Cauliflower with pre-made turkey meatloaf or you could switch it all up and opt for this Mediterranean Salamon Sheet Pan dinner instead!
