1 1/2 lb Lean Ground Beef
1    Egg; Lg
1 c  Bananas; Ripe, Mashed, 2 Lg
1/2 c  Oats; Quick Cooking
1/2 c  Green Bell Pepper; Chopped
2 tb Onion; Chopped
1 ts Salt
1 ts Mustard; Prepared
1/4 ts Nutmeg
1/8 ts Allspice
2    Slices Bacon
3 tb Orange Marmalade

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all of the ingredients, except the
bacon and marmalade, together. Spread the mixture in an ungreased loaf
pan, 9 X 5 X 3-inches. Crisscross the bacon slices on the top of the
meat mixture and spread the marmalade over the whole thing. Bake,
uncovered for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Drain off the excess fat and let stand
for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. NOTE: The bananas add a unique,
almost mysterious flavor and a special moistness to this elegant meat
loaf.
