I agree with the distinguished Evil One from Illinois! Show Me meat loaf is great!
I also agree with the her royal highness, the Queen of Meat Loaf. Don't let the meat sit in its own grease. You'll end up with a braised meatloaf. You can still use foil pans for ease of serving, but poke a few holes in the bottom to let the grease out.
Also, if you can't come up with the Show Me sauce, thie recipe below, from the BBQ Porch mailing list, is also great!
