Good Solid Comfort Food!!
I am a big fan of Cook's Country TV and they did a great
rendition of a meatloaf that is all dressed up and very good!
I hope you enjoy this version as much as we did.

Frosted Meatloaf
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped fine
3 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 c saltines; crushed
1 cup whole milk
1 pound ground pork
2 large eggs plus 1 large yolk
1/3 cup parsley; minced
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 pound 90 percent lean ground beef
2 lb russet potatoes; peeled, 1 in cubes
Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and heat
broiler. Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, set wire rack in
sheet, and place 14 by 6-inch piece of foil in center of rack. Whisk
ketchup, sugar, vinegar, and hot sauce together in bowl; set aside glaze.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add onion
and cook until just softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until
fragrant, about 30 seconds. Set aside off heat.
Combine saltines and 1/3 cup milk in large bowl and mash with fork until
chunky paste forms. Add pork, eggs and yolk, parsley, mustard,
Worcestershire, 1 teaspoon salt, 3/4 teaspoon pepper, thyme, and onion
mixture and knead with your hands until mostly combined. Add beef and knead
until combined.

Transfer meat mixture to foil rectangle on wire rack and form into 9 by
6-inch loaf. Broil on upper-middle oven rack until well browned, 5 to 7
minutes. Brush glaze over top and sides of meatloaf, return to upper-middle
rack, and broil until glaze begins to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Move meatloaf
to lower-middle oven rack, adjust oven temperature to 350 degrees, and
bake until meatloaf registers 160 degrees, 40 to 45 minutes.
Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, bring potatoes and 2 quarts water to boil in Dutch oven over
high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender,
20 to 25 minutes; drain potatoes thoroughly in colander. Set ricer or food
mill over now-empty pot and press or mill potatoes into pot. Stir 1
teaspoon salt, remaining 6 tablespoons butter, and remaining 2/3 cup milk
into potatoes until combined.
Using offset spatula, spread mashed potatoes evenly over top and sides of
meatloaf. Heat broiler and return meatloaf to lower-middle oven rack. Broil
until potatoes are browned, about 15 minutes. Using foil as sling,
transfer meatloaf to carving board and let rest for 15 minutes.
Slice and serve.
