VERY OLD MEATLOAF RECIPE
At present time (2012), this is a 207-year-old meatloaf recipe, that has been handed down through our family since my great-great-grandmother back in 1807. It may be older than this, but that's as far back as I can trace it. Originally it was made using deer meat, but I prefer using beef as did my Mother. Enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350*.

- Slowly add the remainder of the milk if needed - too much will make the mixture to runny and it won't form the loaf.
- Shape into loaf and place in a glass 8x8 or 9x13 baking dish, I add just a little water to the bottom of the pan.
- Bake at 350* for 45 min, cover the top of the loaf with the glaze and finish baking for 15-20 min longer.
- Let the loaf sit 10-15 min before slicing.

BACON WRAPPED MEATLOAF CUPCAKES WITH MASHED POTATO TOPPING RECIPE - (4.3/5)
Provided by PineyCook
Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. MEATLOAF: Line your muffin tin with the bacon so that each tin is circled by one strip. Mix together the beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, salt, pepper, tomato paste, sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Form the meat into 12 equally sized balls and place them into the bacon-lined muffin tins. Fold the top of the bacon over, if needed. Pop them into the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the meat is cooked through and the bacon is crisp. POTATOES: While the meatloaf is cooking, prepare your mashed potatoes. Dice up the potatoes and boil them in salted water until they're soft. Drain the potatoes, pop them into a mixing bowl, and mash them with a fork until they're completely smooth. Add your butter, cheese, milk, salt, etc and mix until fully combined. Move your mashed potatoes into a piping bag (or a zip-lock with an edge cut off) and save it until the meatloaf is ready. CUPCAKE: Once the meatloaf is ready, take them out of the oven, and pipe them with the mashed potatoes! After they're all piped, pop them back into the oven, and turn your heat up to 400-500 degrees F. Heat until the tops of the potatoes are golden brown (it should be very quick - no more than 5-6 minutes). Remove them from the oven, let cool for a bit, and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: Use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin for a flavorful and juicy meatloaf.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper are all classic meatloaf seasonings. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices to create your own unique flavor profile.
- Don't forget the binder: A binder, such as eggs or bread crumbs, helps to hold the meatloaf together. Too much binder can make the meatloaf dry, so use just enough to hold the ingredients together.
- Shape the meatloaf into a loaf: Use your hands to shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape. Make sure the loaf is evenly shaped so that it cooks evenly.
- Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature (350°F) for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit with a crowd. With a few simple tips, you can make the best meatloaf recipe. Experiment with different seasonings and ingredients to create your own unique flavor profile.
