Steps:
- In a large skillet heat the butter over medium-high heat until melted. Add all but 1/4 cup of the onions, the celery and all but 2 tablespoons of the bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 6 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of the garlic, the thyme, rosemary, and parsley and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- When the vegetable mixture is cooled, transfer to a mixing bowl and add the eggs, mustard, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, 1 teaspoon of the Worcestershire sauce, and heavy cream and mix until thoroughly combined. Add the breadcrumbs, ground chuck, pork sausage, ground veal, 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Transfer meat mixture to a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan and using your hands, form mixture into a loaf shape. Arrange the slices of bacon on the top of the meatloaf and set aside.
- In a small saucepan combine the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped onion, remaining 2 tablespoons of green pepper, remaining teaspoon of garlic, remaining 1/2 cup of ketchup, remaining 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, remaining 2 teaspoons of pepper, vinegar, and canned tomatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the uncooked meatloaf and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the bacon and sauce are slightly caramelized on the top of the meatloaf. Remove from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Slice and serve along with the Macaroni with 4 Cheeses.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the spicy ketchup sauce: Add the ketchup, vinegar and hot chili sauce to a bowl and stir. Reserve 1/2 cup for the meatloaf.
- For the meatloaf: In a large bowl, whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, egg, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, thyme, onions, scallions and reserved spicy ketchup sauce. Crumble half the chuck into the bowl, followed by some bread, then half the turkey pile on some more bread cubes. Repeat with the other half of meat and remaining bread. (So a half pound of crumbled chuck, some bread, then a half pound of ground turkey, some bread and repeat until done. Adding this way will make mixing easier and lighter for a juicier loaf.) Gently mix with 1 hand, bringing the egg mixture from the bottom to the top and around until everything is gently combined. Place into a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan, flatten the top and pour the remaining spicy ketchup sauce over the top evenly. Bake in the oven for 60 minutes. Remove and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- Tilt the loaf pan slowly to 1 corner and discard any excess fat or juices from the pan while holding the loaf inside. Don't worry, the meatloaf will still be juicy! Slice into 1-inch thick portions. Serve warm and if there's anything left, refrigerate it and enjoy a meatloaf sandwich for leftovers the next day.

MEATLOAF WITH A KICK!
We loved this meatloaf which was printed in Redbook magazine. The original recipe says to shape it in a loaf and cook it on a cookie sheet, but we just put it in a loaf pan cooking for about the same amount of time. Served with baked potatoes and cooked carrots this is my idea of comfort food!

Tips:
- Choose the right meat. A combination of ground beef and ground pork is a classic choice for meatloaf, but you can also use ground turkey, chicken, or lamb. If you're using a leaner meat, add some bread crumbs or oatmeal to help keep the meatloaf moist.
- Season the meatloaf well. Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the meatloaf, such as garlic, onion, salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin. You can also add some grated cheese or chopped vegetables to the meatloaf for extra flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Shape the meatloaf into a loaf. Place the meatloaf mixture into a greased loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. You can also use a free-form method and shape the meatloaf into a ball or a log.
- Bake the meatloaf. Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're using a free-form method, the meatloaf may take a little longer to cook.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
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 and flavorful meatloaf that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give meatloaf a try.
