Prepare oven and loaf pan: Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Combine meatloaf ingredients: In a large bowl, add all the ingredients for the meatloaf together (except the bacon) and mix well with your hands. You can also saute the chopped onion and pepper first to soften it a bit, but it's not necessary.

Transfer meatloaf to loaf pan and cover with bacon: Place the meat mixture in the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula. Cover with bacon slices, tucking in the bacon over the sides.

Make sauce and brush over meatloaf: In a small bowl whisk all the sauce ingredients together. Brush half the sauce over the meatloaf.

Bake: Transfer the meatloaf to the oven and bake in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Half way through, take the meatloaf out and brush the remaining sauce over it and continue baking.

Cool: Let cool for about 10 minutes then cut into slices and serve over mashed potatoes.
