Bacon-Wrapped Meat Loaf

I made this tonight and it was really good.

Bacon-Wrapped Meat Loaf


1 1/2 pounds Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Dry Bread Crumbs
1/4 cup Chopped Onion -- 1 small
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Chopped Green Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Water
1/2 teaspoon Beef Bouillon Granules
1 teaspoon Salt
6 slices Bacon -- cut in half


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all of the ingredients, except the bacon, together in a large mixing bowl. Shape the mixture into 6 small loaves. Crisscross 2 of the half slices of bacon across each loaf, tucking the ends under each loaf. Place the loaves on a rack in a shallow baking pan and bake uncovered for 50 minutes. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
