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.
