How to Make Meat Loaf Recipe [Episode 040]

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a blender, crush 2 cups of pork rinds.

In a large bowl, combine 4 pounds of ground meat, crushed pork rinds, and 0.5 cup of crushed crackers.

Beat 3 whole eggs and pour them into the bowl with the meat mixture.

Using hands, mix the ingredients together.

Add 1 cup of diced onion and 5 crushed garlic cloves to the mixture and mix again.

Add 1 tbsp of coarse salt and 1 tbsp of fresh ground black pepper to taste.

Mix in 1 cup of barbecue sauce and 2 tbsp of cajun seasoning, then mix again.

Add 0.5 tsp of liquid smoke to the mixture.

Remove the meat mixture and place it into a prepared pan lined with aluminum foil, shaping it into a loaf.

Cover the meatloaf with thick cut bacon strips, ensuring it is fully covered.

Cover the meatloaf with aluminum foil and bake in the oven at 375°F for about 90 minutes.

For the last 10 minutes of baking, uncover the meatloaf to allow the bacon to get crispy.

After 90 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and serve.
