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,.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in hot oil until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

- Mix turkey, beef, quinoa, milk, eggs, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, sweet chili sauce, and ground ginger together in a bowl until well-combined. Add sauteed vegetable mixture; stir until completely incorporated. Gradually add bread crumbs to meat mixture until mixture is moist and holds together. Form into 6 mini loves and place loaves on prepared baking sheet.
- Whisk brown sugar, ketchup, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved and glaze is smooth.
- Bake meat loaves in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Spread glaze over each loaf and continue baking until no loaves are longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

MEATLOAF, BETTER THAN MOM'S
This is an adapted recipe from one my mother used to make. My favorite part of meatloaf was always the tangy candied topping. I hope you like this version.

CRAZY GOOD MEATLOAF (FINALLY) !
I always liked the way my mom made meatloaf, I remember her cleaning out the frig to make it. But it always seemed like the more I added the less it tasted like I wanted it to. Finally I think I've come up with the perfect recipe for our taste. I did add a pinch of Caribbean Rub, (Not caribbean jerk) which added a savory hint, but it is not absolutely necessary. (See my Caribbean Coleslaw Masterpiece recipe for an explanation about what to use for a good Caribbean Rub if you decide to include it). I Loved the way the glaze turned out! I think the thing I enjoyed most in this batch was the addition of the cabbage, we all Really enjoyed it. The amounts are estimates, so use your best judgment as you build it. I made this batch in muffin tins, which is a fun way to do it sometimes, when you want it to cook a little quicker, and want things portioned, it also allows each serving to have a bit more glaze, & makes it a little easier to freeze and pull out individual portions.

Steps:
- For Loaf:.
- Mix all ingredients by hand until everything is well incorporated.
- Put in large loaf pan (or 2 smaller loaf pans) leaving 1/2-1" gap on one end for grease to drain to.
- OR for muffins, form meat mixture packed & rounded into each muffin space (makes approximately 10 regular sized muffins, usually 2 per person). Do place over a cookie sheet so that you don't have grease drip onto your oven.
- Generously brush on glaze to top(s).
- For loaf: Bake at 350 approx 1 hours.
- For "Muffins": Bake at 350 for approx 30-40 minutes.
- Or until meat tests done in center at 160-170 degrees.
- Serve with a side of the glaze, & use any leftover glaze with leftovers.
- Suggest serving with my: Absolutely Great, Simple, Secret Mashed Potatoes #300049.

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.

- Use high-fat meat. The leaner the meat, the dryer and grainier the meatloaf. For an all-beef meatloaf, always use a higher-fat cut, at least 15 percent.
- Add moisture at every step. Don't skip adding eggs, ketchup, tomato paste, mustard, Worcestershire, barbecue sauce or some combination of wet seasonings.
- Use soaked crustless bread. For a meatloaf with beef, pork or veal, soak the bread in milk first. For a ground turkey meatloaf, which needs a boost of fat, soak the bread in cream.
- Sauteed vegetables are key. This one extra step makes a huge difference. Sauteed veggies add flavor, texture and moisture. Try a mirepoix, a fancy French word for a combination of carrots, celery and onion.
- Don't play patty cake with the meat. Overmixing will make a meatloaf dry and dense. Start by stirring the wet ingredients together. Then add the sautéed veggies.
- Taste-test the meat mixture. No, it's not advisable to eat raw meat (although many chefs might use this method). Since the only thing worse than a dry meatloaf is a bland one, take a moment to fry up a tiny bit of the mixture — perhaps the size of a teaspoon — to check it for seasoning.
- Give the meatloaf space in the pan. Yes, there is definitely something satisfying about filling a baking pan to the edges with meat goo. Here's the thing: baking meatloaf in a loaf pan will result in a meat brick.
- Glaze it up. Even a meatloaf made with the most amazing, high-quality meat in the world should have a jazzed up top. Straight ketchup works in a pinch, but chili and barbecue sauces are also great alternatives.
- Let it rest. Just like a roast, it's important to let a meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes (tented with foil to keep it hot) before slicing. It helps the loaf set up for easier slicing and, most importantly, it locks in those luscious, precious juices.
THE 7 SECRETS TO A PERFECTLY MOIST MEATLOAF
From thespruceeats.com
- Fat Is Your Friend. No matter which meats you decide to use, the right ratio of lean meat to fat is a critical factor in determining the texture and moisture of your meatloaf.
- Vegetables Are Your Other Friends. By adding finely diced or pureed aromatic vegetables to your mixture, you are adding additional moisture into the meatloaf.
- Use Enough Filler. The function of breadcrumbs in meatloaf is to absorb and retain the juices so you have a moister loaf. Meat by itself will simply drain away the juices and end up dry.
- Do Not Over Mix or Compress the Meat. Mixing your ingredients too much is a very common mistake that can really make for meatloaf with a tough, dry texture.
- Slow and Low Is the Way to Go. Some recipes have you cook your meatloaf at temperatures as high as 425 F. Noted food authority Alton Brown says that the ideal oven temperature for a moist meatloaf is 325 F. If the oven is too hot it will reduce the cooking time, but it tends to dry out the meat.
- Use a Digital Thermometer to Determine Doneness. If you cook your meatloaf too long, it will become dry. But it needs to reach a safe temperature for food safety, so you don't want "rare" meatloaf.
- Let Your Meatloaf Rest. You may be used to letting steaks and roasts rest for 10 minutes before slicing or serving. Resting is also beneficial for meatloaf.
