Have you ever tried bacon wrapped meatloaf muffins? These are one of the best lunch or dinner ideas ever. These meatloaf muffins are wrapped in bacon and are perfectly portioned.
Meatloaf is a classic comfort food. With this keto-approved version, the taste is amazing and is there anything better than bacon? I don’t think so.
Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf Muffins Recipe Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar

Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf Muffins Recipe Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl, minus the bacon. Mix well.
- Take the slices of bacon and create an “x” or “t”.
- Using a cookie scoop, place a scoop of the meatloaf mixture into each muffin tin.
- Tighten up the bacon slices by folding in the smaller side first (if you have one) and the larger side last.
- Flip the meatloaf muffin over so that you see the “smooth side” of the bacon. This will also hold the bacon in place during the cooking process in the oven.

These muffins take about 15 minutes to make and assemble, then it will take 35-45 minutes to bake. If you like a nice crisp to the bacon, you will want to broil the muffins for 5 minutes. This will crisp up the bacon.

Once the muffins have cooled, you can transfer them to an airtight container or wrap them individually with plastic wrap. These muffins are great to grab from the refrigerator and heat up for a snack or an easy lunch.

These were really good! Cleanup was not fun. I think I will try cooking them on parchment in a baking sheet next time.
I did it made clean up easy
They make parchment cupcake liners. I use them for everything when baking and using muffin pans. They are available on Amazon, then there is no cleanup mess.
I made these tonight. They were great. Very easy to make and cook. Boy the house sure smelled tasty!!!!!! LOL
I made these last night. I missed the part about broiling them on a rack and broiled them in the muffin pan so the bottoms were not crispy. They were still really good.
