1 lb. lean ground beef
2 eggs
1 c. bread crumbs
3/4 c. ketchup
1 pkg. onion soup mix (or chopped onion)
4 strips bacon
pepper
Mix all together, place in loaf pan, cover with bacon strips. Bake 1 hour at 350F.
Note: I remove it from loaf pan after the hour & invert it onto a shallow pan, reposition bacon on top & bake at 375 an additional 15 min. to crisp up sides.
