1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (12 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms in the butter for 2 to 3 minutes; stir in the garlic, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, ground mustard, curry powder, and red pepper; continue to cook until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are golden brown, about 5 minutes; set aside.

Shape the resulting mixture into a loaf and move to a baking dish. Lay the bacon slices on top of the loaf.

Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes.

While the meat loaf bakes, prepare the glaze by whisking together the 1/3 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, and yellow mustard in a bowl. Pour the glaze over the loaf and return to oven for another 10 minutes. Allow meat loaf to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
