• 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Make a Bacon Weave:

1. Lay half of the bacon strips, one next to each other, vertically across the prepared rimmed baking sheet.
2. Lift up and fold back the ends of every other bacon strip on one side of the baking sheet. Place a bacon slice perpendicular to the horizontal rows of bacon, on top of the bacon strips that where not fold back. Straighten out the folded bacon strips to cover the strip that has just been placed.
3. Lift up and fold back the ends of the horizontal bacon strips that are under the vertical bacon strip to the side of the baking sheet. Place a bacon slice right next to the first vertical bacon strip, directly on top of the bacon strips that you did not fold back. Repeat the process of alternating the vertical and horizontal bacon strips until you reach the other end of the horizontal bacon strips.

Wrap in Bacon:

1. Check and make sure that the loaf shaped meat is the same length as the bacon weave. If needed reshape it.
2. Place the loaf shaped meat in the center of the weave. Wrap in bacon, and flip on the other side, meaning that the bacon ends should be tucked under the meat.
