Directions:<\/h1>\n

Preheat Oven:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C).<\/p>\n

Prepare Meatloaf Mixture:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, cilantro, bell pepper, grated cheese (if using), cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.<\/p>\n

Mix everything thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.<\/p>\n

Shape the Meatloaf:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Place the meat mixture into a loaf pan or a baking dish. Press down to form a loaf shape.<\/p>\n

Add Bacon Topping:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lay the bacon strips over the top of the meatloaf, tucking them slightly under the loaf to secure them. The bacon should cover the top and sides of the meatloaf.<\/p>\n

Bake:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour or until the bacon is crispy and the meatloaf is cooked through. You can use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 160\u00b0F (70\u00b0C).<\/p>\n

Serve:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad.<\/p>\n

This Mexican Pastel de Carne<\/em> will have a beautiful bacon crust on top, adding smokiness and a delightful crunch to each slice. Perfect for family gatherings or a cozy dinner!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
