Would give this 3-1/2 stars. It was tasty but just needed something more. I seasoned the chops with salt and pepper before browning them instead of adding S&P to the sauce. I think I would reduce the butter to 2-3 tbsp. since the sauce was a bit rich. But I did love how the garlic caramelized in the cast iron pan.

I absolutely love meatloaf, but I wasn't a real fan of this recipe. As another review suggested, I also used a package of brown gravy mix instead of the bouillon. The meatloaf itself probably wouldn't have been too bad, but others raved about the sauce so much, so I also doubled the amount. I mixed some in with the meatloaf and then cooked for a while and then added most of the rest of the sauce to the top and reserved a small amount for adding after the meatloaf was cooked. I personally found the sauce to be WAY too sweet for my taste. Overall, it wasn't bad, but I know there are other meatloaf recipes that I would enjoy much more.

I did not have any bacon on hand, so I made a vegetarian version of this recipe. I was skeptical about adding garlic at first, but I ended up adding two cloves and thought it added a fantastic flavor! I also added some mushrooms and red pepper instead of green and used red potatoes and left the skins on. I whisked the eggs and seasoned with salt and pepper before pouring on top of the sauteed veggie mix. Then I added the cheese to the top and put the lid on the skillet until it melted. It was a tasty and filling breakfast!
