Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a stand mixer, mix the beef, cracker crumbs, egg, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, and onion until just blended. Shape the mixture into two loaves and place side by side crosswise in a 9-by-13-by-2-inch pan. Bake the loaves for 1 hour, or until they are browned. Transfer to a platter immediately and allow the loaves to cool slightly and firm up before slicing.
- For sandwich: cut 2 thick slices of cooled meatloaf and place on white bread with lettuce and tomato. If you've never had a cold meatloaf sandwich the next day, you don't know what you're missing

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not brown. Off the heat, add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, onion mixture, bread crumbs, and eggs, and mix lightly with a fork. Don't mash or the meat loaf will be dense. Shape the mixture into a rectangular loaf on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F and the meat loaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven, under the meat loaf, will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot.
MEATLOAF
Meatloaf is the quintessential comfort food, the antithesis of fancy restaurant fare. Eat it hot with creamy mashed potatoes or, for greater ease on the cook's part, with baked potatoes and a bowl of chive-flecked sour cream.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place a skillet over medium heat, and melt butter. Add onion and salt to taste, and sauté until golden brown. Remove from heat, and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine beef, pork, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mustard, cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup applesauce. Add onion, and mix well. Gently press into a loaf pan 9 inches by 5 inches by 3 inches, and smooth top. Spread top with remaining 3 tablespoons applesauce, and lay bacon slices lengthwise over top. Sprinkle generously with black pepper.
- Bake until well browned on top and no longer pink in center, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, and carefully pour out juices that have accumulated in pan. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before removing from pan and slicing.

MEATLOAF
Originally created as a tasty way to use up leftover vegetables and to stretch meat further during lean times, meatloaf has become the ultimate comfort food. This one is a classic version, blending ground beef, pork and veal with simple pantry seasonings, but you should feel free to use your preferred combination of meat, such as half pork and half beef. Milk-soaked bread ensures a tender meatloaf, and baking it freeform - on a baking sheet instead of a loaf pan - provides more surface area for the tangy-sweet tomato glaze to caramelize as it bakes. Leftover slices can be crisped in a skillet and served with a salad or tucked into a sandwich. Alternatively, freeze one uncooked loaf for the next time you need to put dinner on the table with ease; simply thaw the night before and bake as directed.

Steps:
- Make the meatloaf: Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste until well combined; let cool.
- In a large bowl, combine bread and milk, and mash with a spoon until a paste forms. Add eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, thyme and cooled onion mixture and mix until well blended. Add the beef, pork and veal, and mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide mixture into 2 equal portions and shape each into a 4-by-8-inch meatloaf on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Use a spoon to spread mixture over the top and sides of each meatloaf. Bake until nicely browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of meatloaf registers 160 degrees, 45 to 55 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Tips:
- Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork: This will give your meatloaf a more flavorful and moist texture.
- Don't overwork the meat mixture: Overworking the meat will make it tough. Just mix it until the ingredients are well combined.
- Add some moisture to the meatloaf mixture: This can be done by adding eggs, milk, or breadcrumbs. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Season the meatloaf mixture well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the meatloaf. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano.
- Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out. The ideal internal temperature for meatloaf is 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.
