Cardiac meat loaf

A work of art. Whose appearance is exceeded only by its taste. And fat grams.

This meat loaf is brought to you by way of the New York Times, where it was billed as a “bacon explosion.” I adapted it heavily, but still and all, it has a half-pound of bacon, a pound of ground beef, and a pound of ground pork, so its ill-advisement for anyone who has trouble with cholesterol is more or less intact.

To hell with cholesterol. This is worth it.

The original recipe called for a pound and a half of Italian sausage and a pound and a half of bacon. Seriously? I feel downright healthy by comparison. Mine had only a half-pound of bacon. Oh, the virtues of moderation.
