Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf

This is an amazing meatloaf recipe that I adapted from one by Alton Brown.  It is easy to prepare and delicious to eat.

Loaf:
2 pounds hamburger meat ( I use 93/7)
1 onion, diced
1 medium bell pepper,diced
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
2 Tablespoon parsley flakes
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 Tablespoon seasoned salt
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 eggs, beaten
7 slices bacon, four full slices and 3 cut in half

Glaze:
1/3 cup chili sauce (or ketchup and add some pepper)
3 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray large baking pan (9 x 10) with cooking spray.  In a large bowl, mix all ingredients for loaf, except bacon.  Place in pan and form into a loaf. 
Mix all ingredients for glaze in a small bowl and stir well until sugar is completely dissolved.
Brush on top  and sides of loaf. Use all of it!
Then create a lattice of bacon on top of glaze.
Bake in oven for one hour or until bacon is crispy and meat reaches 165 on meat thermometer inserted in the middle.  Let loaf rest for 15 minutes prior to cutting.
