Grilled Bacon & Eggs Meatloaf

11/21/18 | American, Beef, budget-friendly, comforting, family

meatloafGrilled, baked or cooked on the stovetop, meatloaf is, without a doubt, the ultimate comfort food. Every family has a trademark recipe, but this Bacon & Eggs Meatloaf grilled over wood chips and charcoal may just be the very best one. See for yourself.

Ditch the breadcrumbs for rolled oats to make this a gluten-free meal. With the bacon, you can fry it ahead of time to add some crunch or just toss it into the mix raw, as I did to save time.

A promise is a promise and I’m a woman of my word. So, even though I’m exhausted from preparing our Thanksgiving feast (Don’t worry, you’re getting those recipes soon, too!), I had to post this Bacon & Eggs Meatloaf for you. Hope you’ll forgive any misspellings.

This recipe has everything, but what makes it extra special is the bacon which just may qualify leftovers as proper breakfast fare. Sandwich it between two slices of garlic bread and you have a party. This year, save the life of a turkey and make meatloaf for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas.  I doubt anyone will even notice the bird missing.

    Oh my gosh, rolled oats! That’s brilliant instead of breadcrumbs. I’ve never thought of that. My GF son will LOVE this!

    Hope you and your family had a lovely Thanksgiving. 🙂 Valentina
