  • Bake until center of meatloaf reaches 160°F. About an hour.
  • While meatloaf is baking, warm 1 cup of Mary's Mornin' FiXXer in a small sauce pan over low heat.
  • When meatloaf is done, let stand 5 minutes; drain off any juices before slicing. Cut into slices.
  • Spoon reserved warm Mary's Mornin' FiXXer over each slice and top with bacon to serve.
  • Serve with your favorite vegetable medley.
