Glazed Bacon Meatloaf
Steps
In a large bowl , beat together the eggs and milk.
Add the torn bread and let it absorb the liquid for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile , cook the bacon until most but not all of the fat is rendered.
Drain the bacon and set it aside to cool.
Stir the bread mixture with a fork to blend.
Add the remaining meatloaf ingredients , including the drained bacon , but not the beef , and mix thoroughly.
Fold in the beef and mix to incorporate throughout , being careful to avoid mashing or over handling the meat.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
When you are ready to cook the meatloaf , preheat the oven to 375f.
Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and shape the meat into a loaf approximately 5 inches long and 3 inches high.
Place in the middle of a low-sided baking pan and bake for 35 minutes.
In a small bowl , whisk the glaze ingredients together.
Brush the meatloaf with the glaze and bake for another 20 minutes.
Remove the meat loaf from the oven and let it sit for a few mi.
