DAD'S MEATLOAF WITH TOMATO RELISH

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Coat a skillet with a 2-count of oil and place over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic, and bay leaves for a few minutes to create a base flavor. Throw in the red peppers and cook them for a couple of minutes to soften. Now add the tomatoes; adding them at this point lets them hold their shape and prevents them from disintegrating. Stir in the parsley, ketchup, and Worcestershire; season with salt and pepper. Simmer the relish for 5 minutes to pull all the flavors together. Remove it from the heat; you should have about 4 cups of relish.
- Place the torn white bread in a bowl and add the milk to just barely cover, swish the bread around in the milk and let it sit while you get the rest of the ingredients for the meat loaf together.
- This is where you get your hands dirty! In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork with 1 1/2 cups of the tomato relish, the eggs, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and add the soaked bread to the meat mixture. To test, fry a small "hamburger" patty of the meatloaf until cooked; the patty should hold together but still have a soft consistency. Taste the patty for seasoning.
- Lightly oil a cookie sheet. Transfer the meat mixture to the center of the cookie sheet and form into a log about 9 inches long and about 4 inches wide. Coat the top of the meatloaf with another 1/2 cup of the tomato relish. Lay the bacon across the top lengthwise.
- Bake the meatloaf for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the bacon is crisp and the meatloaf is firm. Rotate the meat loaf while it's baking every now and then to insure that the bacon browns evenly. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it cool a bit before slicing. Serve with the remaining tomato relish on the side. Unbelievably moist!
DAD'S MEATLOAF
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, add all meatloaf ingredients and mix with your hands until combined. Do NOT overmix it! Divide the mixture between two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans and set aside.
- For the glaze, in a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, ketchup, and mustard. Brush the top of each meatloaf with a thick coat of the glaze. Transfer to the oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle registers 150 degrees F, about 45 minutes.
- Let the meatloaves rest for 10 to 15 minutes, unmold, cut into slices, and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Combine ground beef, eggs and 2 tablespoons of ketchup in a large bowl. Mix well, then add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, oregano, basil, pepper, and onion. Set mixture aside. Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan with bacon, widthwise. Place half of the meat mixture across the top of the bacon. Lay 3 of the 4 pieces of Cheddar cheese across the center of the meat, lengthwise. Cover the cheese with the second half of the meat mixture and mold the meat into a loaf shape. Pull the ends of the bacon up and around the loaf. Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup thinly over the loaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the oven.
- Cut the final piece of Cheddar cheese into slices and place on top of the meat loaf. Return the meat loaf to the oven and continue baking until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the meat loaf to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your meatloaf will taste. This is especially true for the ground beef, which should be as lean as possible. If you can, buy your ground beef from a butcher rather than a grocery store.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your meatloaf well. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper per pound of ground beef. You can also add other spices and herbs to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
- Mix Thoroughly: Make sure you mix the meatloaf mixture thoroughly before shaping it into loaves. This will help to ensure that the meatloaf is evenly cooked.
- Don't Overmix: However, be careful not to overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
- Shape Carefully: Shape the meatloaf mixture into loaves that are about 1 pound each. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Cook at the Right Temperature: Cook the meatloaves at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let Rest: Once the meatloaves are cooked, let them rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you're sure to make a delicious and juicy meatloaf that your whole family will love. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
