Made this for my family, with the addition of 2 small, chopped green bell peppers. Everybody loved it! I've always hated meatloaf recipes that have too much bread in them, so, using Ritz Crackers instead of bread was a great way to combat that sogginess that the bread sometimes creates!

finally! I have been unsuccessfully attempting my husbands favorite dish meatloaf for years. This one is a keeper, tasty and the texture is perfect. The topping was a bit abundant for our tastes so next time I will cut in half half or maybe 1/4. Didn't think it was too sweet either.

As written I give this recipe 4.5 stars. Too sweet for my taste buds. I omit the brown sugar in the loaf altogether. I also would advise to cut down the sugar to a1/4 cup in the sauce. I used 1/2 cup last night and my husband and I thought it was just a bit too sweet still. The bacon is a must!! I cover the whole top with it which is 4 slices for me. :) I have 5 kids and we all enjoy it this way! Also, to keep your loaf from falling apart I recommend sucking some of the grease out while it cooks. otherwise all the grease will keep it from firming up a bit. I will def. keep making this meatloaf with those 2 small changes! Awesome!

This was sickeningly sweet. No one ate it. I guess we're just used to the 'heartier' meatloaves.

too sweet for me, I will cut the bacon up next time and place on top so that it will be easier when you cut the recipe in slices for serving also I will reduce the brown surgar to 1/4 cup next time to see if that helps the sweetness

This is probably the best meatloaf I have ever had. I was worried about the sweetness but it turned out wonderful and was well received by all who ate. I will be keeping this one. I won't change a thing.
