   Thoroughly mix ground meats, onion, bread crumbs, 3 T cold water, and
   eggs. Flavor with salt, praprika, mustard, and parsley. Blend
   ingredients thoroughly. Flatten out meat mixture in the shape of a
   square, (8 X 8-inches).  Arrange whole hard-boiled eggs in a row
   along the middle of the meat.  Fold sides of meat pattie over the
   eggs. Shape meat carefully into a loaf resembling a flat bread loaf.
   Occasionally rinse hands in cold water to prevent sticking.  Cube 2
   strips bacon; cook in a Dutch oven about 2 minutes. Carefully add the
   vegetable oil; heat. Place meatloaf in the Dutch oven and cook until
   browned on all sides. Cut remaining bacon strips in half and arrange
   over the top of the meatloaf. Place uncovered Dutch oven in a
   preheated oven for about 45 minutes. While meat is baking, gradually
   pour hot beef broth over the top of the meatloaf; brush occasionally
   with pan drippings. When done remove meat to a preheated platter and
   keep it warm.  Add 1/4 cup of hot water to pan and scrape all
   particles from the bottom.  Bring to a gentle boil and add cornstarch
   that has been mixed with 1/4 cup water. Cook until bubbly and thick.
   Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.  Reheat to warm.  Season
   with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the sauce separately.
