Bacon Covered Meatloaf : It's Low Carb, Gluten Free, and Paleo

Thanks to Libby for this lovely bacon covered meatloaf recipe. " Meatloaf is such a perfect recipe to use ground/mince meat, and a fabulous way to hide more vegetables if you have reluctant children. Bacon covered meatloaf is so versatile and so easy to make. You can whip this together while the oven is warming up then whilst it is cooking prepare the vegetables." Why not serve with mashed swede or cauliflower ... so tasty.
