• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 4 Tablespoons brown sugar
• 4 teaspoons cider or white vinegar
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1/2 pound ground veal
• 2/3 cup oatmeal
• 1/2 pound thin sliced bacon

For the glaze: Mix ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar; set aside.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in skillet. Add onion and garlic. Saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Mix eggs with thyme, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, tabasco sauce and yogurt. Add egg mixture to meat in a large bowl along with oatmeal and cooked onion and garlic. Mix until evenly blended. I use my hands.

Pat meat into a ball and turn onto a foil lined broiling pan bottom. Pat mixutre into a 9x5 loaf shape. Brush with half the glaze and drape bacon over.

Bake until bacon is crisp and internal temperature of loaf is 160 degrees about 1 15 minutes. Cool at least 20 minutes. Serve with warm glaze.
