Steps:
- Sweat the celery and onions in the oil in a medium saucepot over medium heat until well glazed, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Mix the cooled vegetables, chicken, breadcrumbs, heavy cream, soy sauce, steak sauce, salt and eggs together well, until the mixture is uniform. Place into two parchment-lined and greased 9- by 4-inch loaf pans. Bake until the loaves reach an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, 25 to 35 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a fry pan, add the bacon, onion and garlic and cook over a moderate heat until the onion is softened.
- Remove from the heat.
- Mix the remaining ingredients and the onion, bacon mix together in a large bowl-I find this best done by hand.
- Place in a 9inch long by 3 inch wide and deep loaf dish, patting down very firmly and shaping the top nicely.
- Bake in a moderate oven for 1 1/2 hours, draining any accumulated fat about half way through.
- Mix the topping ingredients together, spread over the meatloaf and return to the oven for the final 30 minutes of cooking.
- Allow the meatloaf to stand about 10 minutes before slicing.
