3 slices bread
1/3 cup whole milk
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 medium onion, diced finely
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large egg
1/2 cup ketchup
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3-4 slices of bacon, optional, but very tasty**

Cook ground beef and pork and drain fat.  Crumble bread into mixing bowl. Stir in milk.  Add cooked meats.  Stir in onion, garlic, egg, ketchup.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Shape into a loaf. Brush with ketchup and add bacon slices (cooked and crumbled if preferred) on top if desired. Bake 45 minutes at 400 degrees.  Serve with more ketchup or barbeque sauce for dipping.  This makes excellent left-over meatloaf sandwiches on day 2!
