Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2-3 lb hamburger (I like 90% or higher for this so less grease)
3-4 slices stale bread
1 can tomatoes
1 c Bread crumbs
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp Garlic salt
salt and pepper
2 slices of bacon (optional)
potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters so pieces are size of golf ball

Directions:
Directions:
1. Have a strainer sitting over a bowl. Open the can of tomatoes and dump in the strainer catching juice in bowl. Tomato juice will be used later. Squeeze tomatoes to get as much juice out of the tomatoes as possible.
2. In large bowl put hamburger, chopped onion, salt, pepper, tomatoes and bread crumbs.
3. Take stale bread and soak in milk or water so it is soft. Squeeze out moisture and add to bowl.
4. With hands mix all ingredients in the bowl.
5. Put 2 slices of bacon on bottom of a 9 x 12 baking dish. Put meat mixture on top of bacon slices. Shape into an oval shape. Poke holes on the top of the meatload (little indents) to hold some of the juice.
6. Put potatoes around the meatloaf. Pour the tomato juice over the top of the meatload and potatoes.
7. Bake at 350ºF for about an hour or until done. Length of time depends on the size of the meatloaf. I always checked the potatoes and when they were done usually the meatloaf is done.
8. Remove potatoes from pan and carefully remove meatloaf from pan. Add water to pan to get some of the bottom bits on pan. Make gravy.

Also good if more bacon is draped over the top of the meatloaf.
