2 eggs, beaten 2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef 1 cup Progresso® panko crispy bread crumbs 1 small red onion, finely chopped 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2/3 cup ketchup 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce Salt and pepper

3 Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center of loaves reads 160ºF. Cool slightly in muffin cups.
4 While loaves are baking, in 3-quart saucepan, place potatoes in generously salted cold water. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cook potatoes until fork-tender. Drain; return to saucepan. Add butter and 1/4 cup milk; mash until creamy and smooth, adding more milk as necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Make sure mashed potatoes are creamy and smooth so they can be piped onto meat loaves.

I'm not really a recipe/cook kind of guy, but my wife made these for dinner the other night and I thought some of you might enjoy them.
It seems like you could wrap it in bacon. Horizontally I mean.
