3 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 eggs
3 cups fresh breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Season-All salt
2 tablespoons italian seasoning
¹⁄₄ cup dried parsley

directions

mix all ingredients in a large bowl by hand (I make my bread crumbs in the food processor using 6 slices of bread) (save the 2 cups of ketchup and bacon) -- make sure it is mixed well and all incorperated !
place it in a small roast pan and shape and form it into a loaf -- take bacon strips and wrap around both ends, 2 strips on both ends to cover all meatloaf -- then take remainder of bacon and cover meatloaf from one end to the other on a diagonal pattern.till the whole loaf is covered -- tuck bacon ends under meat loaf and re-shape it till it is uniform and looks like a loaf --
Bake covered in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour, remove cover and bake for another 30 min untill bacon is nice and brown, and the juices from meatloaf are running clear -- drain drippings from pan, pour ketchup slowly over meatloaf and return to the oven on low heat till the ketchup thickens and warms -- remove from oven and let it rest for appox 15-20 min before slicing -- slice and drizzle ketchup sauce on each slice -- mmmmmmmmmm what a treat ! Great cold to for sandwiches !
