- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Pour cream over bread slices and allow it to soak for several minutes until mushy.
- Add beef, onions, Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, celery salt, sea salt, white pepper and parsley.
- With clean hands, mix the mixture together until uniform in consistency.
- Add beaten eggs and mix again.
- Form into mixture into a loaf. I use an actual loaf pan and then lift it out.
- Line a jelly roll or broiler pan with foil. This avoids a huge mess.
- Place loaf in center.
- Lay bacon slices over top of the meatloaf.
- Arrange retained bread crusts along edges of meatloaf about an inch away to absorb the grease and liquids that cook off the meatloaf.
- Make the sauce by mixing all the ingredients together.
- Spread half the sauce over the top.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Spread remaining sauce over the top.
- Bake another 15 minutes.
- Discard bread edges.
- Enjoy.
