When you need that little twist of something new, but looks like the same thing, the family will love you. With this one the family will be coming back for more and more.

Here Is What You Need: 

• 2 pounds Ground Beef

• 6 slices Crusty Italian Bread

• 1 cup Whole Milk

• 1 cup Grated Parmesan

• 4 whole Large Eggs

• 1/3 cup Minced Parsley

• 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning

• 1 teaspoon Salt

• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

• 12 slices Thin Pancetta (about 4 To 6 Ounces)

• 2 cans Diced Tomatoes (drained)

• 1/4 cup Brown Sugar

• 1 teaspoon Dry Mustard

• 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper

• 5 dashes Worcestershire Sauce

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, eggs, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into a large bowl and smush/knead it around with your hands until everything is completely mixed.
   Make the sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the tomatoes, brown sugar, mustard, cayenne, and Worcestershire and mix together. 
3. Place the meat mixture on a drip pan (a pan with a slotted tray on top) and form it into a loaf shape. Arrange the pancetta slices in an overlapping pattern all over the top, then spoon the tomato mixture all over the top. (Leave any excess juices in the bowl.)
4. Tent the pan with foil and bake it for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking it for another 30 to 40 minutes.
