Meatloaf With Cheese and Bacon and a Bit of a Bite

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.
