1/2 C each BBQ sauce and ketchup.

Grind the onion, celery, garlic and carrot prior to grinding meat, set aside
In large bowl combine meat egg, bread seasonings
Fry i/2 of the bacon, cool and crumble, add to meat mixture
Saute ground vegis on some reserved bacon grease, add to meat mixture
Turn out into greased bread pan, spread remaining (uncooked) bacon on top

Taste, as they say my friend, is in the buds 0f the beholder.

I use 1/2 a pack of saltine crackers instead of dried bread.

Some Perrin's Steak Sauce is great too in place of bbq. Another is Hickory Farms Sweet/Hot Mustard.
