How do you make meatloaf?

Meatloaf is like a snowflake. No two are ever alike.

Chances are that the way you enjoyed this American favorite when you were a kid is they way you like it now. With tomato sauce or ketchup over the top? How about a couple strips of bacon? Onions in the mix? Part ground pork, part ground beef? Bread crumbs or bread? Eggs or milk, or both?

We'd like to know the secret to your meatloaf. This may take some effort because many of us make meatloaf by look and feel. A little of this, a little of that.
