How to Make Amish Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 0.5 lbs ground pork, 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 1 cup bread crumbs, 1/2 cup milk, 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Press the meat mixture into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Top with 6 slices of bacon.
  4. Bake for 45 minutes.
  5. While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
  6. After 45 minutes of baking, carefully pour the sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
