Flavor w/salt, praprika, mustard, & parsley. Blend ingredients thoroughly. Flatten out meat mixture in the shape of a square, (8" X 8"). Arrange whole hard-boiled eggs in a row along the middle of the meat. Fold sides of meat pattie over the eggs. Shape meat carefully into a loaf resembling a flat bread loaf. Occasionally rinse hands in cold water to prevent sticking. Cube 2 strips bacon; cook in a Dutch oven about 2 minutes. Carefully add the oil; heat. Place meatloaf in the Dutch oven and cook until browned on all sides. Cut remaining bacon strips in half and arrange over the top of the meatloaf. Place uncovered Dutch oven in a preheated oven for about 45 minutes. While meat is baking, gradually pour hot beef broth over the top of the meatloaf; brush occasionally with pan dripping. When done remove meat to a preheated platter and keep it warm. Add 1/4 cup of hot water to pan and scrape all gribbens from the bottom. Bring to a gentle boil and add cornstarch that has been mixed with 1/4 cup water. Cook until bubbly and thick. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Reheat to warm. Season w/salt and pepper if desired. Serve the sauce separately. From: http://www.recipesource.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
