(A live Instagram snapshot from the Test Kitchen. http://instagr.am/p/kRw8w/) The one with the tomato glaze. As much as I love bacon, there’s something about that caramelized crust that makes a meatloaf truly outstanding.  When I’m feeling fancy I do the bacon wrap on meatloaf but then I turn it up high to begin with to get the bacon good and crispy then I turn it back to regular temperature and put catsup on the outside so the caramelized tomatoey glaze is there as well.  Basically I get the best of both worlds. Once while I was still living in Tallahassee, I made this meatloaf with an OUT OF THIS WORLD ketchup glaze on it. I remember it was ketchup, brown sugar, and white vinegar. I’ve yet to be able to replicate it because I can’t remember what recipe I used but oh em gee, it was fantastic. So I’d pick the ketchup glaze every time. It’s not meatloaf without it.
