Directions:Preparation:
· Preheat the oven to 350°F.
· Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
· Place the string cheese halves in the freezer for 1 hour.
· Heat a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently. Drain the bacon on a paper towel and let it cool.
· In a small mixing bowl, stir the bacon, zesty steak sauce, brown sugar, and molasses together. Set aside.
· In a large mixing bowl, add the meatloaf mix, grated onion, Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley. Gently mix with your hands until just combined.
· Divide the mixture into 6 portions, about 6 oz each.
· Place the frozen string cheese halves on the prepared baking sheet. Form the meatloaf mixture around each in a small, slightly flattened football shape.
· Bake the meatloaves in the oven for 15–20 minutes. Remove the meatloaves from the oven and top them with the bacon glaze, then the crispy fried onions.
· Bake in the oven for 5–8 minutes more, until a thermometer registers 160°F, then serve.
