Well then, I suppose I could put bacon on it and just eat it seperately. I thought the purpose of it was to combine some bacon with forkfuls of meatloaf, and not wanting to do that, I just didn't see the point of including it in the dish. But keeping the top moister is desirable, so I'd add the bacon.
Does it impart a significant amount of its flavor onto the meatloaf?

Bacon is too expensive for me right now, $4 a pound or 12 ounces when it's on sale. |
Ever check your meat department for bacon slices you can purchase individually? My grocery store will let you buy bacon by the slice. If you can find a grocery store that does that, you could buy ingredients for a burger and then just buy 2 or 3 slices for a burger for very cheap.
