Mom's Meatloaf

Why I Love This Recipe
This is the meatloaf that my Mom always made and the one that I always make now. It's my favorite.
Ingredients You'll Need
1/2 onion, diced
1-1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground pork
1 egg
2 pieces of white bread - soaked in milk
5 pieces of american cheese
8 oz can of tomato sauce
salt & pepper
4 slices of bacon
Directions
Simmer diced onions in water for 5 minutes. Drain.
In large bowl, combine meats, onion, egg, bread (soak bread in milk first), cheese (tear into small pieces), tomato sauce (only use about 6 of the 8 oz.), and salt & pepper too taste.
Mix everything up - your hands work best.
Place in a loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1-1/2 hours.
Drain grease occasionally.
After 45 minutes,top meatloaf with the bacon and finish cooking.
