Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC). Lightly grease a loaf pan with olive oil.
-
Cook the bacon strip in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels, then crumble or chop into small pieces.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork (implied by title), diced onion, crumbled bacon, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
-
Whisk the eggs and mayonnaise in a separate small bowl, then pour into the meat mixture. Stir until just combined.
-
Fold in the bread crumbs until the mixture holds together well but isn't overly compacted.
-
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down firmly and smoothing the top.
-
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160ðF (71ðC) and the top is golden brown.
-
Let the loaf rest in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Note
Note: The original ingredient list included "2 Cups olive oil" and "3 Cups mayonnaise" which are excessive for a standard loaf and likely errors in the source data. Typical meatloaf recipes use 1-2 tablespoons of oil for greasing and 2-3 tablespoons of mayo for binding. Adjust quantities to taste for a less greasy result.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the microwave or toaster oven.
Variation: Add 1/2 cup of grated carrots or celery to the mixture for extra moisture and sweetness.
