Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) with rack in center position. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 3
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels; reserve drippings in skillet.
Step 4
Heat drippings over medium-high heat. Add celery; sauté until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Step 5
Combine bread crumbs, milk, eggs, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, onion powder, and celery in a large bowl; mix well.
Step 6
Crumble beef and pork into bread crumb mixture; combine using your hands, making sure not to overmix. Form into a loaf; place into the prepared pan. Place bacon strips, lengthwise, on top of loaf.
Step 7
Meanwhile, combine ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl; mix well.
Step 8
Remove loaf from oven; drain any fat bubbling on top and around edges. Continue baking for 25 minutes more. Drain fat again; spoon or brush brown sugar glaze evenly over top. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 9
Continue baking until no longer pink in center, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Rest before cutting and serving, at least 10 minutes .
