2 tablespoons Onion -- Chopped
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Mustard

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.
