Yummo!!!

I found this recipe for meat loaf in the newspaper and I made it last night and it was deeeeeeeelicious!!  So, I wanted to share it.  There is nothing like the smell of meat loaf cooking on a cold winter's night.
Here it is:

"This Is It Meat Loaf"

1 pound beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground veal
(I used 1 pound of ground pork instead of using the veal)
2 Eggs, beaten
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
3/4 cup tomato juice
6 strips bacon
8-ounce can tomato sauce

In a large bowl, mix meat, eggs, onion, garlic, parsley, Worcestershire, mustard, salt and pepper, using your clean hands and fluffing the loaf, not compressing it.  It should be wet.  Add the bread crumbs and tomato juice with your hands again.

Place in a shallow baking dish, shaping it into a loaf 8 to 10 inches long and 4 inches high.  Cover the top with bacon strips on the diagonal.  Pour the tomato sauce over the entire loaf.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. 

It's Yummmmmmmmmo!!!  Enjoy!!!
