In case you did not know, I am a huge fan of bacon.
Plain bacon, bacon with eggs, bacon in kale salad, bacon on burgers, bacon bacon on … Basically, I love bacon any and every way it can be served.
So naturally, when i saw a recipe for a bacon wrapped meat log on wishesndishes.com, I Knew I Had to try it. I Decided to make mine a meatloaf
-I made some changes to the original recipe, first I found that 4 eggs was too eggs to the mixture (do not need extra fat)
I use 2 eggs.
-The mixture of bread and milk resulted exes , so I use a 1/2 cup milk with 4 slices White Sandwich Bread (I use fat-free milk, continue down the calories)
-I add 2 cloves minced garlic, this will a taste great!
-Also slather on meat “Honey Hickory Smoke Barbecue Sauce”
-Cook 1 hour covered with foil, then remove the foil and cook 20 minutes more.
Anyway, here is my version of this recipe.
