In a small frying pan, combine diced celery, diced onion, 4 to 5 slices of diced bacon and butter. Saute until vegetables are soft and bacon is cooked (about 15 minutes). Allow to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked vegetable mixture with meat, eggs, salt, garlic, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly by hand until ingredients are combined. Spray a flat tray with Pam and form your meatloaf into a football shape.
Spray foil with Pam and cover the meatloaf. Bake for 45 minutes in a 350 F oven.
Remove from oven and take foil cover off meatloaf. Add your favorite ketchup-based topping and continue to bake for an additional 15–20 minutes. (Optional: add the remaining slices of bacon to the top of meatloaf at the beginning of the baking time.)
