Directions
Heat the oven to 350℉ (180℃).
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 1¼ 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.
