Bacon-wrapped Grilled Meatloaf

     Not your ordinary Sunday meatloaf, this entree was chosen by Pop from an episode of one of his favorite television series - Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. I prepared and baked the meatloaf early in the day, refrigerating it till late afternoon, when it was sliced and a strip of bacon was secured around the perimeter of each piece. The slices were then taken out on the patio and placed on a medium hot grill. On the stove, fresh quartered mushrooms were sauteed in butter for a sauce, sliced onions sizzled to a crisp and potatoes boiled in preparation for mashing with a bit of cheddar cheese. When all the components were ready and piping hot,  a serving of the mashed potatoes was scooped onto each plate and topped with a slice of grilled meatloaf . The mushroom-butter sauce was ladled over and lastly the entrees were garnished with a generous share of crispy onions.  SO not low-fat or low-calorie or even health-conscious, but, oh my, so good!
