Bacon Meatloaf

Well tonight, I decided to make a Meatloaf, and after my last one I thought that bacon was a good idea to include. Only problem is I did not take any pictures to post, but we all know what a meatloaf looks like. I also ran out of eggs and did not feel like running to the store so i used a package of meatloaf seasoning we had in the cupboard, I know kind of cheating, but I added to it so there is a recipe in here. So here it is:
2 pounds ground beef
1 package bacon
1 package meatloaf seasoning
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp ground mustard seed
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp A1 steak sauce
1 cup water
The reason I used the packaged seasoning is it has a dry binder in it that takes the place of the egg. Cut the Bacon into small pieces and fry in a skillet until almost crispy. Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl, drain the bacon and add mix again. Put into a loaf pan( I finally found one for meatloaf that has two pans, one with holes in it to drain off the excess fat) put into a 350 degree oven for about an hour. This turned out really good and I am sure it will become a part of our regular dinner rotation. Speaking of dinner rotations, I think that I am running out of things to cook, so I would like some ideas. If you have any recipes you would like to share send them to me and I will do it, and in the meantime I will dig out the cookbook my Grandmother gave me for Christmas a few years ago(yeah right more like a decade ago, man I think I am getting old). I think it has some old family recipes in it.

Bacon Wrapped Mac N Cheese Stuffed Meatloaf

Meatloaf is a meat dish consisting of ground meat (usually ground beef or a combination of ground beef, lamb or pork), which is formed into the shape of a loaf and either baked or smoked. It has European roots, minced meat loaves have been prepared since the 5th century. Traditionally it is a German, Belgian or Dutch dish. Many Meatloaf recipes can also be a traded off for a Meatball recipe. But my recipe is wrapped with Bacon and stuffed with Mac N Cheese. The recipe calls for your basic Meatloaf seasoning package,a box of Mac and Cheese, and a package of Bacon. I put a layer of bacon across the bottom of my loaf pan.
Then I put half of the prepared meat in the pan, then a thick layer of Macaroni and Cheese, the put the rest of the meat on top of that and pat it down so it all forms a nice loaf. Next I cover the top of the loaf with bacon so it is completely surrounded with pork goodness. Bake at 350 for about an hour. Quick safety note, put your loaf pan on a cookie sheet or in a cake pan, the Bacon grease will drip everywhere (I started a little fire in the oven on this one, haha).
