Instructions
- Preparation Preheat oven to 400°F In a large bowl, add the eggs, parmesan cheese, tomato paste, heavy cream, onions and all the spices, mix well.
- Add in the ground beef and pork, and mix until combined, but do not over mix.
- Set the bowl aside and grab your bacon! Lay out half of the strips of bacon vertically, very close together, on a piece of parchment paper sprayed with nonstick spray.
- Fold back every other piece of bacon and lay a strip of bacon tightly close to the piece running horizontally.
- Put the folded pieces back and fold back the other set of bacon strips, adding another piece horizontally.
- Continue the process until you have used all the strips of bacon.
- Add the meatloaf mixture over the top of the bacon weave and spread out evenly.
- Add the shredded cheddar down the middle and use the parchment paper to help you roll it into a loaf shape.
- Place a baking dish over the top and invert the loaf so that the weave is on top.
- Make sure the sides are sealed up with the meat mixture and no cheese is showing on either side.
- Bake for 60-80 minutes and check during the last 15 minutes to make sure the bacon is not burning.
- If its getting too browned, cover with aluminum foil for the remaining cooking time.
