Bacon-Wrapped Meat Loaf

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until tender, 4-5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon, pepper sauce, saltine, parsley and seasonings; stir in onion mixture. Crumble meats over mixture and mix well. With wet hands, shape into a loaf and place in a greased foil-lined 13-in.x 9-in. baking dish.
3. In a small saucepan, combine sauce ingredients; cook and stir until the sugar is dissolved and sauce has thickened. Spoon 1/2 cup sauce over loaf; place bacon over top.
4. Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer reads 160°, 50-55 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Warm remaining 1/2 cup sauce; serve with meat loaf.
