Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a bowl add all of the ingredients for the Tangy Sauce and whisk; set aside.
- In a medium bowl add the bread, panko and milk. Press the bread into the milk and set aside. Allow to soak for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl add the rest of the meatloaf ingredients and the bread/panko/milk mixture. Gently mix until combined. Do not overimx as the meatloaf will be tough. Transfer the mixture to the baking sheet and using your hands, form a loaf that is about 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and about 2 1/2-3 inches tall. The loaf should be smooth and have rounded edges. This will help the loaf stay together when serving.
- Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread Tangy Sauce all over the top and sides of the meatloaf. You'll use about 1 -1 1/2 cups of sauce. Save the leftover sauce for meatloaf sandwiches. Put the meatloaf back into the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer inserted reads 165F.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before cutting.

THE MEATLOAF WITH THE SAUCE!
Hubby and I have an ongoing feud over meatloaf - my saucy version vs. his Italian version. Since meatloaf is one of the few entrees he knows how to make, I don't complain when he makes his...but I definitely prefer this one!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine the meat, panko, milk, bell peppers, onion, garlic, herbs, Worcestershire sauce, coriander, onion powder, salt, black pepper, white pepper and eggs in a large mixing bowl. By hand, fold all the ingredients together until thoroughly mixed. Remove a small amount of the mixture and sear it in clarified butter in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes, to test for flavor and consistency. The meat may appear under-seasoned; this is okay.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the mushrooms and Bistro Sauce and mix thoroughly. Place the mushrooms in a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl and let the excess sauce drain off and collect in a bowl; reserve for the glaze.
- Line a sheet pan with the bacon in a crisscross weave pattern. Put approximately half the meatloaf mix into the pan and spread out evenly. Make a vein of mushrooms that runs down the entire center of the pan. Take the rest of the meatloaf mix and cover the mushrooms in an even layer. Fold the bacon over the meatloaf. Flip the meatloaf over onto a lined sheet pan.
- Bake the meatloaf for 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Cover the meatloaf with foil and continue baking until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, about 20 additional minutes. Combine the reserved Bistro Sauce with the ketchup and refrigerate until ready to serve. Top the meatloaf with the sauce before serving.
- Combine the tomatoes, soda, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, pepper, sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, sriracha, raisins and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook until reduced by two-thirds, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Steps:
- For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Pour the milk over the bread and allow it to soak in for several minutes. Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, salt, some pepper, seasoned salt and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the eggs. With clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined.
- Form the mixture into a loaf shape on a foil-lined broiler pan, which will allow the fat from the meat to drain.
- Lay the bacon slices over the top, tucking them underneath the meatloaf to give the meatloaf some support.
- Next, make the tomato sauce: Pour the ketchup into a bowl. Add the brown sugar and dry mustard, and splash in the hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Stir the mixture until well combined. Pour one-third of the sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake for 45 minutes, and then pour over another one-third of the remaining tomato sauce over the meatloaf. Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes; the meatloaf should be no longer pink in the middle. Allow to sit 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with the remaining tomato sauce on the side as a dipping sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: For a moist and flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin, or ground chuck and ground pork.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Gently mix the ingredients together until just combined.
- Add moisture to the meatloaf: To prevent the meatloaf from drying out, add some moisture to the mixture. This can be done by adding eggs, milk, bread crumbs, or grated vegetables.
- Season the meatloaf well: Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the meatloaf, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
- Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cooking the meatloaf at a low temperature will help to keep it moist and juicy. Cook the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour per pound.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: After the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf.
