This meatloaf is excellent for cold sandwiches in the hubby's lunchbox. Try it with onion or ranch dip instead of sour cream.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 celery rib, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped
2 eggs
1/2 cup ketchup, for topping
1/4 cup ketchup, for meatloaf
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon thyme leaves, finely chopped
1/3 cup parsley, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2/3 cup breadcrumbs
2 lbs ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
4 slices bacon
1/2 cup crushed tomatoes
2 teaspoons coarse black pepper
1/4 cup brown sugar

Steps:

Saute butter, onion, celery, and bell pepper until carmelized.
Add garlic, thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Cook 2 minutes. Cool in a mixing bowl.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
To mixing bowl with vegetables, add eggs, mustard, 1/4 cup ketchup, Worcestershire, and cream. Mix.
Add breadcrumbs, meat, salt, and mix with hand just until combined. Do not overmix.
Form into 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
Combine 1/2 cup ketchup and 1/4 cup of brown sugar (or to taste).
Poke holes into the meatloaf and drizzle the topping over it, allowing it to seep into the meat.
Cut bacon slices in half, lengthwise, and place in strips over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake for 45 minutes and until the sauce is slightly caramelized on the top.
Remove from the oven and tent with foil. Let it stand about 10 minutes before serving.
I serve it with scalloped potatoes.

Tips:

Use high-quality ground beef. The better the quality of the beef, the better the meatloaf will be. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing will make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Use a variety of seasonings. This will give the meatloaf flavor and depth. Some good options include garlic, onion, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary.
Cook the meatloaf in a loaf pan. This will help it to hold its shape and cook evenly.
Baste the meatloaf with ketchup or barbecue sauce during the last 15 minutes of cooking. This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious meatloaf that your family and friends will love. Experiment with different seasonings and ingredients to find your favorite meatloaf recipe.
