How has O.G. lived for so long? Eating a lot of things that are bad for you, wrapped in more things that are bad for you. As if all that ground beef wasn’t enough, she had to go and wrap it in bacon. Heart attack? Yes. But she is 88 years old, so what can I say?

ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup bread crumbs
5 slices of bacon
1 TB brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep a loaf pan, I have a very cool meatloaf pan that automatically drains the meatloaf as it cooks, great especially since there is bacon in this recipe…
