- Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the eggs.
- With clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined.
- Form the mixture into a loaf shape on the broiler pan, which will allow the fat from the meat to drain. Make sure to line the bottom of the broiler pan with foil to make clean-up easier!
- Lay the bacon slices over the top of the loaf, tucking them underneath the meatloaf.
- Make the tomato sauce topping by stirring the ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour the topping over the loaf.
- Bake for 1 hour.
