Meatloaf With Bacon Strips

MEATLOAF:
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground pork
1/2 c. crushed saltines-about 10
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
bacon strips

GLAZE:
1 TBL brown sugar
1/2 c. red chili sauce
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine all the ingredients for the meatloaf except the bacon and mix well. Put into a lightly sprayed 9x5 inch loaf pan and gently pat down. Mix all the ingredients together for the glaze in a small bowl. Spread glaze on the meatloaf and then cover with the bacon strips. Bake about 1 hour, until loaf is firm. Broil for an extra minute or two to crisp bacon if desired.
*Instead to making meatloaf, I turn mine into meatballs. Spray two cupcake pans, roll the meat into meatballs, and then place in the pan. Cover the meatballs with the glaze and then a small strip of bacon. Cook for about 20-25 minutes. Then broil for a minute or two to crisp the bacon.
