Cheddar Bacon Meatloaf
Wherever I go when I die I hope there's bacon. . .
2 tbs lard, tallow or butter
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup chopped carrot
1/4 cup chopped celery
4 chopped mushrooms
1 lb grass fed ground beef
1 lb pastured ground pork
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 tsp gelatin
1 tbs worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1/2 cup raw cheddar, grated
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Bacon
Heat the fat in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the onion, garlic and vegetables until softened and just beginning to brown (about 6 to 8 mins). Add a small amount of broth or water and simmer briskly until almost dry, 4 to 5 mins.
Add gelatin to lightly beaten eggs and allow to sit for 5 mins. Combine meats, seasonings, worcertershire sauce, parsley, veggies, cheese and eggs. Use your hands to mix all the ingredients until just combined.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line the bottom of a 13" x 9" pan with parchment. Form the meatloaf mixture into a 10 x 4 inch rectangular block. Layer overlapping strips of bacon on the meatloaf on the diagonal, covering the meat as much as possible. Trim the ends, leaving a 1/2" overhang. Gently tuck the overhang under the meatloaf. Use additional strips, trimmed as necessary, to patch any uncovered areas. Bake for 45 to 50 mins. Broil for 3 mins until the bacon is crips. Let rest for 10 mins
