Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Allow to soak for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Add the soaked breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf, approximately 20 cm long and 10 cm wide, and place it on the prepared baking tray.
Lay the bacon slices over the top of the meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 70°C (160°F).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your choice of sides.
