Mix eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, V8 juice, green pepper and seasonings in a large bowl until well combined. Add meat, ¼ 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!) Servings: 8
