Mix in fresh parsley and thyme.

Dice salami de genoa and black forest ham, then add to the mixture.

Include chopped garlic, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.

Season with black pepper and salt.

Pour in buttermilk and mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Prepare a baking pan by lining it with bacon slices.

Pack the meat mixture tightly into the lined baking pan.

Create a glaze with apricot balsamic vinegar, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, then apply it generously on top of the meatloaf.

Bake the meatloaf until it reaches an internal temperature of 155°F.

Let the meatloaf rest for 30-45 minutes before slicing.
