Ingredients

1 ½ lb lean ground beef
2 strips bacon good quality dry cured is preferable
1 medium onion
1 large dill pickle drained and patted dry
2 cloves garlic
½ cup loosely packed parsley measure before chopping
2 large eggs
½ cup dry breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
2 Tbsp yellow mustard
2 Tbsp ketchup

Instructions

Place bacon strips in freezer for about 10 minutes to chill before chopping.
Roughly chop onion, garlic, pickle, parsley and chilled bacon. Pulse in mini chopper or food processor until very finely ground.
Add chopped ingredients to a large bowl, along with beef, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire, Dijon, salt and pepper. Whisk eggs slightly in small bowl and add to meat mixture. Combine well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
Spoon into loaf pan and press gently to spread evenly to edges.
Bake in preheated 350° oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon or dab off any accumulated fat and liquid from top of loaf. If a lot of liquid is surrounding meatloaf, carefully pour some off.
Combine yellow mustard and ketchup. Spread evenly over top of meatloaf. Return to oven and bake for 45 minutes.
Turn oven to broil for last few minutes to caramelize the top if desired.
Allow to rest at least 10 minutes before slicing.
