Steps:

• In medium frying pan over medium heat, saute onion and celery until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Into large bowl, tear bread into small pieces.
• Add onion mixture, ground beef, carrot,salt,pepper,egg, and 1/2 of tomato sauce and mix well with a spoon.
• Turn mixture into a meatloaf pan( I use one with an insert that lets any grease drip to the bottom of the pan) and shape into a loaf.
• If not using a meatloaf pan, in a 12" by 8" baking dish, shape mixture into a 8" by 4" loaf.
• In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, and remaining tomato sauce.
• Spoon mixture evenly over meatloaf in pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
• Serve meatloaf warm or cover and refrigerate to serve cold later.

Steps:

• Mix hamburger, ground pork, salt, pepper, mustard, onion, egg, sour cream, tomato juice, 1 cup breadcrumbs, and horseradish if using, well.
• Sprinkle 1/8 cup breadcrumbs on top.
• Bake 45 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit or until done.

Steps:

• Lightly steam onions, celery, and bell peppers and let cool. Place the cooled vegetables into a mixing bowl and add the pork, sirloin, ketchup, eggs, half and half and mix well. Mix in the oatmeal and spice mix. Place the meat into a loaf pan lined with bacon strips. Place in refrigerator overnight so that the meat loaf firms up. When ready for use, remove from the refrigerator; cover the top of the loaf pan with aluminum foil; place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven on top of a roasting pan. Do this to prevent the overspill from making a mess out of your oven and cook until the inside temperature (with a thermometer) reaches 165 degrees (about 1 1/2 hours). 15 minutes before it is done, remove the foil - this will allow the top to brown. Remove from the oven and pour out excess oil and let it sit for 20 minutes. Turn the loaf pan upside down to remove the meatloaf. Slice with a sharp knife.

Steps:

• For the tomato relish, coat a skillet with olive oil and place over medium heat. Saute the garlic, bay leaves, and onion together until they caramelize. Add the red peppers and cook until soft. Add the tomatoes, parsley and Worcestershire sauce, cook for 10 minutes until the vegetables cook down. Stir in the ketchup and continue to cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork together with your hands. Fold in 1/2 cup of the tomato relish. Add the eggs and thyme and mix with both hands just until blended. Do not over mix or the meat loaf will become dense and tough. Season with salt and pepper. Coat a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Fill the loaf pan with the meat mixture, mounding it a bit on top. Generously spoon some tomato relish on the surface. When cooked, this will form a top crust. Place the loaf pan on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the meat loaf has pulled away from the sides of the pan. Remove from pan, allow to cool slightly before cutting into slices. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.
