Meatloaf With Cheese and Bacon and a Bit of a Bite created by JustJanS

I went looking for meatloaf for dinner, couldn't find one to use up a few things I had in the fridge, so made my own up. It's good!

ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
2 slices bacon, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 slices bread, soaked in
milk, then crumbled
¹⁄₂ kg ground pork
¹⁄₂ kg ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 (27 g) packet onion soup mix
3 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeno peppers
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
¹⁄₄ cup tomato ketchup
¹⁄₄ cup commercial barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon mild chili sauce
Topping
¹⁄₄ cup tomato ketchup
¹⁄₄ cup commercial barbecue sauce

directions

Heat the oil in a fry pan, add the bacon, onion and garlic and cook over a moderate heat until the onion is softened.
Remove from the heat.
Mix the remaining ingredients and the onion, bacon mix together in a large bowl-I find this best done by hand.
Place in a 9inch long by 3 inch wide and deep loaf dish, patting down very firmly and shaping the top nicely.
Bake in a moderate oven for 1 1/2 hours, draining any accumulated fat about half way through.
Mix the topping ingredients together, spread over the meatloaf and return to the oven for the final 30 minutes of cooking.
Allow the meatloaf to stand about 10 minutes before slicing.

This is definitely for me: will review later, when I've made it! I get sick to death of my usual ground beef recipes (and Mom always says "add minced pork!"). Sounds great, and down to earth.
