3. In a small bowl, combine ketchup, light brown sugar and smoked paprika. Use ⅓ of the ketchup glaze in the bottom of the bacon lined loaf pan.
4. Transfer the ground beef mixture into the bacon lined loaf pan on top of the ketchup glaze. 5. Fill the loaf pan, then wrap remaining edges of the bacon in over the bottom of the formed loaf.
6. Using a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil, cover the top of the loaf pan and flip to a smooth working surface. Gently lift the loaf pan away from the formed meatloaf. 7. Transfer the meatloaf ( on the parchment paper or aluminum foil ) onto a wire rack in a baking dish.
8. Top the meatloaf with the remaining ketchup glaze. 9. Bake at 375 degrees F ( 190 degrees C ) for 45 – 55 minutes. Your meatloaf should have an internal temperature ( taken at the center of the meatloaf ) that is a minimum of 160 degrees F ( 71 degrees C ) as read by a digital meat thermometer. Remove from oven & enjoy!
