    Gordon Ramsay Meatloaf Recipe

    When the Roman cookbook “Apicius” was published, one of its recipes is a concoction of chopped meat, wine, and bread that's pressed into patties. This is the first known reference to this dish that we know today as “meatloaf”. So the usual version of Gordon Ramsay meatloaf recipe is made with ground beef, although ground lamb, pork, veal, venison, poultry, and seafood are also used, sometimes in combination. When your meatloaf is cooked you can slice it like a loaf of bread to make individual portions and serve them to your family or guests.

      I used the recipe for the bacon wrapped version. It has been 50 minutes at 350 degrees, plus the 15-20 (turned into 20), and it is STILL not done inside. I hope whoever uses this recipe is smart enough to use a thermometer. All that time and it's only at 145. It smells amazing, but times need to be adjusted. I usually cook mine at 375. And the bacon doesn't really get crispy being soaked in sauce. But bacon is the duct tape of food so I am not sad about that one!

        The real secret is not the time because it will change from one oven to another, I recommend really using a meat thermometer in these cases or you will end up with a piece of meat that you won't really like.
        After all, there is no exact cooking time, it is just approximately. but as you said, you need to be smart enough to use a thermometer.

      Okay update after it was finished and eaten. It was so tasty!! I would use my OG glaze next time, but it was worth the wait for it to be done! Ended up being an hour and a half cook time. No higher oven temp though, or the bacon would have burned.
