This bacon-covered meatloaf is made with a blend of pork and beef and cooked in the classic loaf fashion — perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine beef, sausage, crackers, ketchup, onion, eggs, onion powder, and garlic powder in a large bowl until mixed thoroughly, using hands for best results. Form mixture into a loaf shape.
Weave bacon strips into a basket weave pattern. Place meatloaf in the center; carefully lift and transfer to a loaf pan so that bacon is on the bottom and sides of the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 1/2 hours, or until no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Allow to sit for 5 minutes before carefully flipping onto a platter.
