    Amazing tasting Basket Weaved Bacon Meatloaf starts with a fabulous meatloaf recipe. Topped with a layer of cheddar cheese and wrapped in a bacon weave!
    Basket Weaved Bacon Meatloaf
    Meatloaf is pure comfort food and this recipe that adds a layer of bacon takes meatloaf to a whole new level. Weaving bacon is a simple process of alternating strips of bacon into a decorative, delicious "basket weave" design. This Basket Weaved Bacon Meatloaf is moist and incredibly flavourful! A super side dish to serve with it is my recipe for Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
