Mini Meatloaf wrapped in bacon

This recipe makes a lot, so I tend to half it for my family of 4 and have enough leftover for lunch the next day. It is also a fast and very tasty meal!

1 tablespoon or so of olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup ketchup
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 pounds ground beef
bacon

Mix all ingredients together, except bacon.

Roll the meat into a ball like shape that fits into your muffin tin. Grab a slice of bacon, or half a slice if your bacon is particularly long, and wrap the meatloaf with it. Then put it into the tin.

Bake in a 350 oven for 20 minutes. Then turn your oven up to broil to crisp up the bacon for 2-5 minutes. Served with steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes.
