Ingredients
•
5 slices bacon
•
1 stalk celery, diced
•
1 cup fine bread crumbs
•
1 cup milk
•
3 eggs
•
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
•
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
•
1 pound ground beef
•
1 pound ground pork
•
1/3 cup ketchup
•
3 tablespoons brown sugar
•
1 tablespoon dry mustard
•
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) with rack in center position. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels; reserve drippings in skillet.
3
Heat drippings over medium-high heat. Add celery; sauté until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
4
Combine bread crumbs, milk, eggs, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, onion powder, and celery in a large bowl; mix well.
5
Crumble beef and pork into bread crumb mixture; combine using your hands, making sure not to overmix. Form into a loaf; place into the prepared pan. Place bacon strips, lengthwise, on top of loaf.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
7
Meanwhile, combine ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl; mix well.
8
Remove loaf from oven; drain any fat bubbling on top and around edges. Continue baking for 25 minutes more. Drain fat again; spoon or brush brown sugar glaze evenly over top. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
9
Continue baking until no longer pink in center, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Rest before cutting and serving, at least 10 minutes .
