Preheat oven to 350 degrees.



In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except bacon and additional ketchup. Line a large loaf pan (at least 5½-by-9½-inch) with bacon. Lay it in the pan the short way, with the ends hanging over the sides of the pan. Pack meat mixture into pan tightly, pushing air out. Flip ends of bacon over top of meatloaf.
