  Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.  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 1 1/4 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.
