3/4 lb 85% lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1/4 lb ground veal
3 slices bacon
1 red bell pepper, finely minced
3 shallots, finely minced
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 ounce) package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1 egg
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup crouton, store-bought cheese and garlic
3 tablespoons oatmeal
3 tablespoons ketchup, 2-3 good squirts
1/8 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons mixed Italian herbs
2 teaspoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
salt & pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cook the bacon in a saute pan until crisp. Remove bacon, save for a BLT or something else (will not be used in the meatloaf).
In the same pan of the bacon fat, add the 2 tbl of olive oil and saute red peppers, shallots and garlic until soft, about 5-8 minutes (do not burn).
Take the croutons, put them into a plastic bag, and crush with a meat mallet until very finely crushed.
In a large bowl, mix the meat and the remainder of the ingredients (except the Montreal steak seasoning) by hand, not overworking, until everything is just combined. Season with salt and pepper.
On a baking sheet, spray with a non-stick cooking spray, and dump the meat mixture onto it. Form into a loaf.
Top with the Montreal steak seasoning.
Bake until center reaches 160°F, about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours, or until cooked through.
Serve with a sauce.
Topping Sauce: Heat ketchup, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until combined.
