      Yield: 6 servings 
  
  1 1/2 lb Lean Ground Beef                    1 ts Salt 
      1    Egg; Lg                             1 ts Mustard; Prepared 
      1 c  Bananas; Ripe, Mashed, 2 Lg       1/4 ts Nutmeg 
    1/2 c  Oats; Quick Cooking               1/8 ts Allspice 
    1/2 c  Green Bell Pepper; Chopped          2    Slices Bacon 
      2 tb Onion; Chopped                      3 tb Orange Marmalade 
  
  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.
