Low Carb Meatloaf

8-oz can tomato sauce
3 or 4 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp dried parsley
salt & pepper to taste
3 or 4 cloves garlic, minced very fine
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 to 3/4 cup Parmesan, Romano, or other shaker-style cheese (or combine!)
1 slice uncooked turkey bacon, finely chopped

1. Mix all the ingredients together. Don't overhandle the meat, just mix enough to incorporate the ingredients.

2. Shape lightly into a casserole or other deep dish.

3. Bake uncovered at 350* for approximately one hour.

4. About 10 minutes before removing from oven, add a thick layer of grated cheese, preferably cheddar, and allow it to melt.
