She also puts in 1 Lb. Fingerling potatoes, 4 leeks, and then makes a sauce of 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1 tbsp. Yellow ground mustard, and 1 tsp.. tomato paste.
Heat the oven to 375. Cut the bread and soak in the milk, in a small bowl for 5 minutes. In the meantime, heat the olive oil in a skillet and add the onion, celery, and garlic. Cook them until soft and clear. Remove from heat and cool.
Place carrots in a large mixing bowl. Add the milk and bread mix, ground beef, ground pork, eggs, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Add the onion mixture. Using your hands or a fork, mix it all.
Place this in a large ungreased baking dish or roasting pan. Place the bacon slices on top of this.(One time I had bacon, the next time I did not) Place the potatoes and leeks around the loaf. ( I did not do this, since I did have those two items.) Season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, ground mustard and 2 tbsp. Of water. Stir in the tomato paste. She used paste that comes in a tube, which would be very handy and less waste. Brush this on the loaf.
Bake, and brush the glaze on every 15 minutes. Bake 1 - 1/4 hours. Let stand
10 minutes before slicing.
