EVERYDAY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• For the Sauce: Whisk all of the sauce ingredients together; set aside.
• For the Meatloaf: Position rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Have a roasting pan ready.
• Grind the bread slices in a food processor fitted with a metal blade until finely ground. Measure out 3/4 cup (84 g) of soft breadcrumbs and combine the measured breadcrumbs with milk in a large mixing bowl; allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk for 5 minutes. (Any extra breadcrumbs can be frozen in a zip top bag and saved for another use). Add eggs, carrot, red bell pepper, parsley, scallions, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, salt, thyme and a generous amount of black pepper to the same bowl and use your hands to mix well. Scrape meatloaf mixture into center of roasting pan and use your hands to form an oval loaf shape about 9-inches long, 6-inches wide and 2-inches thick (23 cm by 15 cm by 5 cm). Spread about half of the sauce on top of the loaf, coating the top and sides. Reserve any remaining sauce to serve alongside cooked meatloaf. Use your fingers to lay bacon over the meatloaf on a slight diagonal, tucking the ends underneath the loaf. The sauce will help the pieces stick and stay in place.
• Cook for about 55 minutes to 1 hour or until meat is cooked through and the bacon is crisp. An instant read thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf should read 160°F/72°C. You can crisp up the bacon further, if you like, by placing meatloaf under the broiler for 30 seconds to 1 minute, taking care not to burn. Meatloaf is ready to cut into slices and serve with the reserved sauce alongside. We like it hot, room temperature or the next day in a sandwich. Any leftovers can be wrapped well with plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 3 days.

THE BEST MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and lightly golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add 3 tablespoons of the ketchup and cook until most of the moisture has evaporated and the mixture is thick and brick red colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onions cool slightly. Then add them to the beaten eggs and mix to combine.
• Add the beef to the egg and onion mixture. Break up the meat with a fork or wooden spoon, and then mix to thoroughly combine; you don't want to see any lumps of raw beef. Add the panko and mix to combine. Stir the meat vigorously with a wooden spoon for about 7 seconds; it will become more homogenous and tackier.

Bake for 5 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 150 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
