Carefully lift an edge and roll the meat around the filling. Place into a loaf pan with the seam side down.

• Return meat loaf to oven and bake until bacon topping is crisp and pineapple mixture has baked into a glaze, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat loaf should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
