Glaze:
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
Meatloaf:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine bread cubes and milk; let soak while preparing veggies.
In a medium skillet, heat oil; sauté onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
When veggies are cool, add to the soaked bread; add cheeses, parsley, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, chili powder and paprika. Mix with a fork until evenly blended. Add meat; season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix everything just until combined. Do not overwork the meat, or it will be dry.
Place 2/3 of the meat mixture into a broiler pan and, with wet hands, pat the mixture into a loaf, about 9 x 5 inches. Press the center in, making a rim outside of the meatloaf; fill the inside with the reserved Cheddar cheese. Add the remaining 1/3 meat mixture; gently close the gaps, pressing the sides to seal in the cheese. Smooth out the meatloaf using wet hands.
Brush the loaf with the glaze; arrange bacon slices over the loaf, overlapping slices slightly and tucking them under to prevent curling.
Bake 1 1/2 hours or until bacon is crisp and the inside temperature is 160 degrees. Cool 10 minutes. Slice.
Serve.
10 servings.
