2 eggs
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 pound pork sausage mild bulk
1 (16-ounce) can tomato peeled whole, chopped and juice reserved
3/4 cup cracker fine crumbs (about 20 crackers)
1/2 cup onion finely chopped
2 tablespoons parsley chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3 slices bacon cut in half crosswise

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs with a fork. Add beef, sausage, tomatoes with juice, cracker crumbs, onion, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix until well blended. Press firmly into a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Run a thin knife around edge and invert meat loaf into a shallow baking dish (about 12 x 8 x 2-inch). Arrange bacon pieces on top.

Bake for 1 hour. Spoon off fat drippings. Bake 30 minutes longer or until no longer pink in center. Drain off any additional drippings.

Cover loosely with foil and let stand for 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
