Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 9x13 baking or roasting pan with foil and spray with vegetable oil.

Add everything but the bacon to a large mixing bowl and combine well with a fork or your hands - not a spoon.

Dump it into the pan and pack it into a loaf about 3 inches wide + 3 inches high.

Drape the bacon in a row over it. You can trim the ends so it fits or just leave it long - it will shrink as it bakes.

Bake 50 minutes. If the bacon isn't crisp enough turn the broiler on for about 2 minutes - keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.

Remove from the oven and let it sit 5 minutes. Use a large spatula or 2 spatulas - one on each end to move it to a platter.

Slice into wedges to serve.
