How to Make Bacon Topped Meatloaf

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, gently combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Add 2 pounds ground beef to the bowl and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf in an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
Top the meatloaf evenly with 6-8 slices of bacon.
Bake uncovered for 70-80 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F (71°C).
Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
