Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Mix all ingredients and form into a long loaf.

2. 2

   Lay bacon over meatloaf and along the sides.

3. 3

   Place into a 9x13 baking pan and bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours.

4. 4

   I usually add nearly cooked potatoes for the last 20-25 minutes and sometimes I even make a gravy from the pan drippings.

5. 5

   Remove from pan and cover with foil for 5 or 10 minutes to let the juices settle.

6. 6

   Slice and serve.
