Bacon-Topped Meat Loaf

SUBMITTED BY: Sue Call

"My family loves meat loaf- this one in particular. I created the recipe after trying and adjusting many other recipes over the years. Cheddar cheese tucked inside and a flavorful bacon topping dress it up just right for Sunday dinner!"

I am not a fan of meatloaf but I went back for seconds after tasting this new twist. I did change a few things. I tore up a few slices of bacon and added them to the mixture. I subbed barbeque instead of chile sauce and I didn't put as much in the mixture, then I glazed it with a barbeque/brown sugar/ ketchup mixture on top of the bacon topping and it turned out great!!!!!

My Boyfriend complained all day that I was making meatloaf and how he hates meatloaf. He ate the whole thing!!! The next day at work he told everyone how Rockin this meatloaf was. Thanks!! I changed it a bit by putting bacon all across the top...we LOVE bacon!!

Excellent flavor, but the loaf was a bit on the dense side. I ended up using 6 slices of bacon to the cover the type enough. Next time I might mix the bacon into the meatloaf and make a glaze of chili sauce instead.
