I think my left ventricle just slammed shut looking at that picture.

Actually, the meatloaf is sitting up on a rack. The fat cooks out leaving the flavor with the meatloaf.

The bacon prevents the meatloaf from drying out as the fat cooks out of the meat.

The bacon also acts as a timer. When the bacon is crisp, the meatloaf is done to perfection.
