Ingredients

1 cup milk
1 cup bread crumbs
1 carrot, peeled
1 rib celery
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons finely shredded parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
3 strips of bacon

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 375F
2

Combine milk and breadcrumbs, stir and let stand for 5 minutes.
3

Finely chop the carrots, celery, onion and garlic (or blitz with a food processor)
4

In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients (except the bacon) and mix well - it helps to use your hands.
5

Shape the mixture into a loaf (I transfer the mix to a loaf pan and then invert onto a roasting rack). Slice each piece of bacon in half and layer the six strips width-wise across the top of the meat loaf.
6

Bake for 1 hour or until a meat thermometer shows an internal temperature of 160F.
