Instructions

    1.
    Turn on an oven to preheat to 375 degrees. Prepare a large sheet tray by lining it with aluminum foil and setting an oven-safe rack on top for draining off fat during baking. Spray the rack with pan spray, and set it aside for later. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, mustard powder, paprika, thyme, parsley, and nutmeg. Grind plain pork rinds in a food processor or good blender until they become a fine crumb, and add the right amount to the meatloaf mixture. Shape the mixture into about an 8-inch log on a sheet of parchment paper.
    2.
    Once the meatloaf mixture is made, set it aside temporarily. Whisk together the second amount of mayonnaise with ketchup and honey mustard in a new dish, and set the sauce aside as well next to the meatloaf. Lay down a large sheet of parchment paper, and begin laying the strips of bacon on top of the paper. The bacon strips should lay vertically in a row, from left to right, spanning about 8 inches long. If you need to include more bacon to reach this length, do so.
    3.
    Place the meatloaf log horizontally across the bacon. Spread the sauce made in Step 2 across all exposed areas of the meatloaf. Starting on the left side, begin picking up the loose ends of bacon and overlap them on top of the meatloaf until the meatloaf is entirely wrapped in bacon. Tuck any extra-long or loose ends of the bacon underneath other strips so they don\'t pop up during bacon and burn.
    4.
    Carefully lift the wrapped meatloaf and place it on your prepared baking rack. Bake the meatloaf in your oven, uncovered, for 60 minutes or more until done. A meat thermometer should read at least 155 degrees for medium-well done beef. You may cook for longer for darker, crispier bacon. You can also use a broiler to achieve this. Let the meatloaf cool for 5 minutes before slicing it into pieces on a cutting board.
