Much like you I enjoy making food, eating food, seldom write down recipes which I suppose I could do, but don't. Seldom photograph except on rare occasions....
Meatloaf as you refer to perhaps try this for a twist, prepare meat to your liking and consistency then roll onto sheet of wax wrap, flatted out like a square pizza. Grate cheese with some herbs for additional taste if you so desire all depends on meat. Spread grated cheese across flattened out meat, grab edge of wax wrap and roll like Swiss roll, top with bitsy bacon, cheese, slice of tomato if you feel lavish and grill, ready to eat, makes a great meal with mash, gravy and salad.
Your tantalizing meals always look delicious and would only imagine Mrs has a trick or two up her sleeve to make other dishes, we all appear to have something in food we really enjoy making.

That does sound like a really great preparation for meat. I will have to remember that! Food is just so great to talk about!
Makes a difference, using approx bread size pan or dish to bake in it holds shape pretty well.
Good stuff!
