Thoroughly mix ground meats, onion, bread crumbs, 3 tbsps cold water and eggs. Flavor with salt, paprika, mustard and parsley. Flatten out meat mixture in an 8x8in square. Arrange whole hard-boiled eggs in a row along the middle of the meat. Fold sides of meat patty over the eggs. Shape meat carefully into a loaf resembling a flat bread loaf. Cube 2 strips of bacon. Cook bacon 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. Pace uncovered Dutch oven in a preheated oven for about 45 mins. 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.
