  Mix eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, V8 juice, green pepper and seasonings in a
  large bowl until well combined. Add meat, 1/4 pound at a time, and mix
  until combined. Shape into two round loaves and place two strips of bacon
  in an X across each. Place on a rack in a roasting pan and bake at 350F for
  1 hour. (This is a healthy meatloaf. Calories are reduced by baking loaves
  on a rack so the fat runs off!)
