SAGE MEAT LOAF
I really like this meat loaf because it's moist and the sage flavor in it makes it really yummy. The topping is not too sweet and adds a nice zip to it. It's also a good way to use up those saltine crackers that linger around. Recipe comes from Taste of Home magazine.

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.

MAPLE SAGE MEATLOAF
This recipe was originally adapted from the good ol' Better Homes and Gardens plaid cookbook. I changed it around a little because I don't really like using fillers like cracker crumbs or breadcrumbs. I tend to think of the crumbs as being evil, little, thirsty sponges absorbing all of the fats and grease that would, otherwise, drain out. I confess that I have used TVP (texturized vegetable protein) as an extender when I just didn't have enough ground meat. Grated carrots, mushrooms, zucchini and/or other vegetables can be added in the uncooked mix to lighten up the density. By the way, the leftovers make an unbeatable sandwich! My husband likes to doctor his meatloaf sandwiches up with mayonnaise, ketchup and hot sauce.

Steps:
- (I like to microwave the chopped onion for a minute or two on High prior to mixing it into the loaf) Combine the first seven ingredients together with your hands until thoroughly mixed.
- Pat the mixture into a freeform loaf-shape in a casserole dish.
- Mix together the last 4 ingredients and spread over the top of the loaf, dripping a little down the sides.
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes (I usually drain off the fat after 45 minutes and at the end of the cooking time).

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: Use a mixture of ground beef chuck and ground beef sirloin for a flavorful and moist meatloaf.
- Don't overwork the meat: Overworking the meat will make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give your meatloaf the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make meatloaf. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or experiment with different cooking methods.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a traditional recipe or something a little more creative, there is sure to be a meatloaf recipe that you will love.
