Illinois has changed its mining laws for the better in recent years. Many strip
mines are made into good size and very deep lakes - with their tailings
denatured and covered over in a very green manner. Our state EPA and Bureau of
Mines are quite the sticklers on that - for which I say good on them.

      Title: Dad's Meatloaf With Tomato Relish
 Categories: Beef, Pork, Relish
      Yield: 7 servings
 
MMMMM-----------------------TOMATO RELISH----------------------------
           Extra-virgin olive oil
      1    Onion; fine diced
      2 cl Garlic; minced
      2    Bay leaves
      2    Red bell peppers; cored,
           - seeded, fine diced
      2    Tomatoes; halved, seeded,
           - fine diced
    1/4 c  Chopped fresh flat-leaf
           - parsley
     12 oz Bottle ketchup
      1 tb Worcestershire sauce
           Sea salt & fresh pepper

MMMMM--------------------------MEATLOAF-------------------------------
      3 sl White bread; crusts removed,
           - in chunks
    1/4 c  Whole milk
  1 1/2 lb Ground beef
      1 lb Ground pork
      2    Eggs
           Leaves from 2 fresh thyme
           - sprigs
           Salt & fresh ground pepper
      4    Bacon slices
 
  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  
  Coat a skillet with a 2-count of oil and place over medium
  heat. Saute the onion, garlic, and bay leaves for a few min
  to create a base flavor. Throw in the red peppers and cook
  them for a couple of minutes to soften. Now add the tomatoes;
  adding them at this point lets them hold their shape and
  prevents them from disintegrating. Stir in the parsley,
  ketchup, and Worcestershire; season with salt and pepper.
  Simmer the relish for 5 minutes to pull all the flavors
  together. Remove it from the heat; you should have about
  4 cups of relish.
  
  Place the torn white bread in a bowl and add the milk to
  just barely cover, swish the bread around in the milk and
  let it sit while you get the rest of the ingredients for
  the meat loaf together.
  
  This is where you get your hands dirty! In a large mixing
  bowl, combine the ground beef and pork with 1 1/2 cups of
  the tomato relish, the eggs, and thyme; season with salt
  and pepper. Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and add
  the soaked bread to the meat mixture. To test, fry a small
  "hamburger" patty of the meatloaf until cooked; the patty
  should hold together but still have a soft consistency.
  Taste the patty for seasoning.
  
  Lightly oil a cookie sheet. Transfer the meat mixture to
  the center of the cookie sheet and form into a log about
  9 inches long and about 4 inches wide. Coat the top of the
  meatloaf with another 1/2 cup of the tomato relish. Lay the
  bacon across the top lengthwise.
  
  Bake the meatloaf for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the bacon is
  crisp and the meatloaf is firm. Rotate the meat loaf while
  it's baking every now and then to insure that the bacon
  browns evenly. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let
  it cool a bit before slicing. Serve with the remaining
  tomato relish on the side. Unbelievably moist!
