Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the meat in a large mixing bowl. Flatten it slightly. Beat the egg and the egg white in a small bowl. Add the garlic, bread crumbs and salt and stir to combine. Pour the egg mixture over the meat, then use your hands to knead the mixture until it is well blended. Form the meat into a loaf shape, about 8 by 4 by 2 1/2 inches.
- Heat the oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the meatloaf and brown for 3 to 4 minutes. Gently turn to brown the other side, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Once browned, slide a spatula under the loaf to make sure it has not stuck to the bottom of the pan. If it has, loosen it and scrape up any bits of meat that are stuck.
- Pour the ketchup over the top and down the sides of the meatloaf. Pour the broth around the meatloaf and stir with a fork to combine with the ketchup. Add the pickling spices and place 1 bay leaf on each side of the loaf. Bring the broth to a boil. Cover the pot and place it in the oven. Bake until the meat loaf is firm, about one hour.
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven, remove the bay leaves and the spice bag, cool and refrigerate over night. About 40 minutes before serving, remove the meatloaf from the refrigerator, lift the layer of fat from the top of the gravy and place the pot, covered, over medium-low heat to warm, about 20 minutes. Add additional cold water if the gravy seems too skimpy. Serve in 1-inch slices with mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Pour milk over the bread slices. Allow it to soak in for several minutes.
- Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add in your beaten eggs.
- USE YOUR HANDS and git in there, mix it up well.
- Form into a log. Hint: don't "smoosh" it down to tight, that just compacts the meat and tends to make for a dense er heavy meatloaf. I honest and truly believe THIS step was the defining factor in the most juiciest meatloaf I have ever eaten.
- Lay bacon slices across the top, width wise, tucking the ends underneath the meatloaf.
- Spread a good amount of sauce onto your loaf, leaving a little for your second application later in cooking process.
- Bake for 45 minutes, then slather the rest of the sauce over the top.
- Bake for 15 more minutes or so, you can raise oven temperature to 400 after the second application,.

THE BEST MEATLOAF I'VE EVER MADE
When I was growing up, my mom never ever made meatloaf and I always wanted to try it - I finally tried it at a restaurant and loved it. When I moved out on my own I started experimenting with different recipes and creating my own version. I finally came up with the best meatloaf I have ever made, and I wanted to share it.

SUSAN'S SWEET AND TANGY MEATLOAF
I snagged the basic recipe for this from AllRecipes.com but have changed it a great deal to suit my family's tastes. My husband is not a fan of meatloaf but BEGS for this one, as do my 2 and 4 year old. It's super easy and can be made early in the day and then just spread the sauce on top and bake. It's sweet, tangy and a bit spicy! I bet everyone will ask for seconds!
