1 pound ground beef

2 cloves garlic, minced

12 unseasoned oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves
2 ounces salt pork, unsmoked bacon, or pancetta, very thinly sliced

1
Preheat the oven to 325F.

Place all the ingredients except the sun-dried tomatoes and salt pork in a large bowl, and knead with your hands until thoroughly blended and no longer wet.

Arrange the salt pork in stripes, without touching one another, over the tomatoes.
7
Cover the pan with aluminum foil, pinching around the pan rim to seal loosely.

Bake until the juices are bubbling up clear, not pink, and the meat is no longer pink in the center, about 2 hours.
9
Remove from the oven, uncover, and let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour to allow the juices to settle and the loaf to firm.
