Bacon Topped Meatloaf

Ingredients:

1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1 1/2-2 tsp salt
dash of pepper
1 cup toasted then cubed white bread
1 medium onion, minced
3/4 kilo ground beef
1/4 kilo ground pork
8 strips bacon

Procedure:

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, combine egg, milk, salt, pepper and bread. Add the onion and ground meat. mix thoroughly. Line a loaf pan with bacon strips across the width of the pan. Pack the meat mixture firmly into the pan. Bake for 1-1/2 hours. Remove frome oven.

Loosen the meat loaf from the pan by carefully running a knife or spatula around the edges. Turn the pan over on a baking sheet, and gently shake the meat loaf out. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees Farenheit and return loaf to oven for another 10 min. to brown the bacon.

NOTE:

Normally I don't do the last paragraph anymore. I just bake at 350F steady until the meatloaf cooks.

For the bread that's toasted and cubed, another option you can use is to buy the ready made bread crumbs. But if you don't have them handy, just use a normal bread, don't forget to toast till it's crispy, slice it in cubes then mash them together with the meat mixture.
