Tell him you have met another man from Arthur Murray School of Dance while you were out having a pedicure. The man indicated he was from the NBA where he functions as a referee. He is looking for a place to hide from Shaq and LeBaron. He is on the payroll of a major potato chip producer to tip the games to Shaq. The man has begged for protection, invoking Chapter 7 of the International Guide for Stupidity. In order to protect your family at all costs and with great personal trepidation, you are serving meatloaf in order to ward off this evilness and restore sanity to the nBA, remove saturated fats from potato chips, and avoid having a guest for dinner where you would have to make twice as much meatloaf.
Then - send any and all meatloaf remnants to I of great wisdom, an awesome IQ, and a unrequitted passion for meatloaf.
Thank you. I have my own ketchup. Oh - an don't forget the onions.

Dad's Meatloaf with Tomato Relish Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence
Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
User Rating:
Tomato Relish:
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 bay leaves
2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and finely diced
2 tomatoes, halved, seeded, and finely diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 (12-ounce) bottle ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Meatloaf:
3 slices white bread, crusts removed, torn into chunks by hand
1/4 cup whole milk
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 pound ground pork
2 eggs
Leaves from 2 fresh thyme sprigs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 to 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 minutes 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!

Tell him that there is a new person at the meat department in your store. The person really messed up because it was their first day on the job.
The person accidentally ground up rib-eye and sirloin and he labeled it "ground beef" by mistake. The person asked you not to tell on him and you got a super deal.
You got the good stuff real cheap and this will be the best meatloaf ever..... Make over it like it is great and extra special because you got it cheap.

What is it about meatloaf that he doesn't like? If it's the flavor try adding some dried mustard or a little curry powder (1/4tsp/lb) - if you normally use bread crumbs, try oatmeal, or seasoned bread crumbs. Do you normally serve it with brown gravy or tomato soup? Try the other one. Do you add onions? garlic? chopped peppers? (I like red bell (sweet) peppers. Maybe use a can of chopped stewed tomatoes? How about a dash of: A-1, or Lea & Perrins, or Liquid Smoke, or Tabasco, or ??? Nobody says it has to be the 'same-old, same-old'. My husband LOVES meatloaf!

Tell him you have a new recipe you wanna try out and tell him you want to surprise him! There are loads of different thing to do to meatloaf...and some peppers and/or onions to it and then at the end of baking glaze a mixture of ketchup, brown sugar, and a lil bit of honey over top...it adds a lil flavor! Or another one that I have tried, adding taco seasoning to the meat before baking...not too shabby!
Good luck with the meatloaf!

My husband is not a fan of meatloaf- but if i slice it and stick it on a bun with ketchup and tell him it is a baked hamburger he seems to think it is great. So what I do is either trick him with the hamburger trick or not tell him until it is time to eat then he is too hungry to do anything about it!

whats wrong with meatloaf? If you cook it just right it wont come out dry and you can add all kinds of stuff in it and make it rather special. Try cooking it in one of those baking bags and use real ground beef and not ground up what ever with alot of fat. I dont know about your meatloaf but mine comes out rather yum yum yummy but I add alot of stuff to it and seal it up while cooking so it comes out nice and juicy and tender. Get creative and you wont have to break it to him that you are having meatloaf.

After you've greeted him at the door wearing a silken thong, mysteriously and seductively covered by a diaphanous robe, taken him by the hand and performed a sensual pole dance around the dining table leg to the strains of his favourite music, promised him a night of heaven ...
you say "Honey, we're having meatloaf tomorrow!"

I take it he hates meatloaf if you have to ask us how to tell him. Tell him this way: Honey, we are having meatloaf tomorrow...for the last time. I bet he'll eat it and smile.

I would put on something very very sexy.... hug him real close, real tight... till he starts to get aroused...
Start kissing his neck... grab his buns...
When he's just about to lose his mind... walk away.
When he asks you "baby, whats that all about"?
Say to him... well, we are having meatloaf for dinner...
He'll be so worked up, that he wont care about the meatloaf, and you may actually get some
Enjoy the meat
