• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 3 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp black pepper

2. Fold an 18×36 inch sheet of heavy foil in half crosswise. Arrange bacon in center of foil with long sides touching. Put beef mixture crosswise onto bacon; shape beef into a loaf. Pull bacon ends up and around loaf. Fold sides of foil twice on each side, then fold in corners to form a shallow pan; transfer to a baking sheet.
