Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
- Heat remaining bacon grease over medium-high heat. Saute celery in hot grease until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Combine bread crumbs, milk, eggs, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, onion powder, and sauteed celery in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Crumble beef and pork into egg mixture and mix together using your hands, making sure not to overmix. Form into a loaf and place into the prepared loaf pan. Place the bacon slices along the top of the loaf long-ways.
- Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 30 minutes.
- While the meat is cooking, combine ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, and Worcestershire for glaze in a small bowl; mix well.
- Remove loaf from the oven and drain any fat bubbling around edges and on top. Return to the oven and continue to bake for 25 minutes more. Remove once more, drain fat again, and spoon or brush glaze mixture evenly over the top. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Return loaf to the preheated oven and continue to bake until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let sit for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Steps:
- For the glaze: Mix all ingredients in small saucepan; set aside. For the meat loaf: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oil in medium skillet. Add onion and garlic; saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool while preparing remaining ingredients. Mix eggs with thyme, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pepper sauce, and milk or yogurt. Add egg mixture to meat in large bowl along with crackers, parsley, and cooked onion and garlic; mix with fork until evenly blended and meat mixture does not stick to bowl. (If mixture sticks, add additional milk or yogurt, a couple tablespoons at a time, until mix no longer sticks.) Turn meat mixture onto work surface. With wet hands, pat mixture into approximately 9 x 5-inch loaf shape. Place on foil-lined (for easy cleanup) shallow baking pan. Brush with half the glaze, then arrange bacon slices, crosswise, over loaf, overlapping slightly and tucking only bacon tip ends under loaf. Bake loaf until bacon is crisp and internal temperature of loaf registers 160 degrees F, about 1 hour. Cool at least 20 minutes. Simmer remaining glaze over medium heat until thickened slightly. Slice meat loaf and serve with extra glaze passed separately.

BACON WRAPPED MEATLOAF WITH GLAZE
This is as gourmet as meatloaf gets. The sweet/sour glaze and bacon set this one apart. The left overs make great sandwiches too. Worth the extra effort.

Tips:

- Season the meatloaf well: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of seasonings in the meatloaf. This will help to give it flavor and depth.
- Wrap the meatloaf in bacon: This is what makes this meatloaf special! The bacon will add a crispy, salty flavor to the meatloaf.
- Make a brown sugar glaze: The glaze is what gives the meatloaf its sweet and sticky exterior. Be sure to brush it on the meatloaf before baking.
- Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to keep it moist and juicy. The internal temperature should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
