Step-by-Step Instructions for Mozzarella Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with foil and cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and parsley until just mixed.
- Shape the meat mixture into a rectangle, place mozzarella sticks in the center, and roll the meat around the cheese, sealing the edges.
- Wrap the meatloaf with overlapping bacon slices, tucking any overhanging pieces underneath.
- Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to create the glaze. Brush half over the meatloaf.
- Bake for 45 minutes, then brush with remaining glaze and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes
Ensure the mozzarella is fully enclosed to prevent leaking. Use thin-cut bacon for optimal crispiness and consider basting with extra glaze halfway through cooking for enhanced flavor.
