Mom's (but not my mom's) Meatloaf

Ingredients	Directions
2 lbs. ground beef 1 egg ½ cup breadcrumbs ¾ cup ketchup 1/8 cup mustard 2 tbs. onions 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. black pepper 1 tps. garlic powder 1 pkg. of sliced bacon	Put all the ingredients, except for the bacon, in a large bowl. Mix well. On a large cookie sheet, form a loaf with the mixture. Place the strips of bacon around the loaf, creating a layer of bacon. Bake the loaf in an oven at 325° for 45-60 minutes.
	To add that little something extra to the meatloaf, do one or more of the following things: Squirt some additional ketchup on top of the bacon before baking, making a design such as a smiley face. Add a hard boiled egg to the center of the loaf before baking. Serve with mashed potatos, covering both the potatos and the meatloaf with gravy. Leftover meatloaf makes a great sandwich for lunch the next day.
