Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C)

2 In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.

3 Put the mixture in a medium baking tray lined with aluminum foil and distribute the meat mixture evenly.

4 Add the pepperoni and cheese, on top of the meat.

5 Carefully lift the meat and form a loaf.

6 In another aluminum-lined baking tray, place the slices of bacon side by side, one next to the other. Place the meat loaf on top of the bacon.

10 Cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
