COOKS COUNTRY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 Heat oil in med. skillet - add onion and garlic and saute until softened, about 5 min. Set aside to cool while preparing remaining ingredients. Mix eggs with thyme, salt, pepper,mustard, worchestershire sauce, pepper, pepper sauce, and milk. Add egg mixture to meat in large bowl with crackers, parsley, and cooked onion mixture. Mix until evenly blended and meat mixture does not stick to bowl. If it sticks add additional milk a few tbsp at a time, until no longer sticks. Shape into loaf on cookie sheet lined with foil for easy clean-up. Brush with half of the glaze and arrange bacon slices over top tucking ends under loaf. Bake until bacon is crisp and internal temp is 160 (about an hour). I found that it took longer at 375. Cool 20 min. Simmer remaining glaze until slightly thickened. Slice meatloaf and serve with extra glaze.
