Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, eggs, milk, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

3. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a large baking dish.

5. In a small saucepan, combine the beef broth and red wine. Heat over medium heat until warmed through.

6. Pour the beef broth mixture over the meatloaf in the baking dish.

7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours.

8. After 2 hours, remove the foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes to allow the bacon to crisp up.

10. Slowly whisk in the juices from the baking dish to create a smooth gravy. Simmer for a few minutes until thickened.

11. Once the meatloaf is cooked through and the bacon is crispy, remove it from the oven.

12. Serve the meatloaf sliced, drizzled with the gravy.
