Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grind the pancetta in a food processor. Add the eggs and pulse to combine. Place in a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix well with your hands and pack into a 12- by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting.

This recipe yields one 12- by 4 1/2-inch loaf, approximately 12 slices.

Comments: I like to have meatloaf around for breakfast, dinner, or as a cold snack. I enjoy it fried and served with eggs for breakfast or heated under the broiler, then spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on it, smothered with cheese and a few slices of tomato and broiled until the cheese is bubbly.
