We're a family that likes to occasionally have meatloaf, and this version is a big hit. My brother was visiting, and he's a meatloaf fan. He preferred this version and took the recipe home with him. I may not fix it any other way again.

The bacon didn't crisp, so that was disappointing. I also didn't care for the flavor of the bbq sauce. My husband enjoyed it better the next day as a meatloaf sandwich.

I only used 1 lb of meatloaf and cut the ingredients by a 1/3rd. Turned out great. I also didn't have any foil.

Didn't care for this dish. The liquid smoke was the only flavor that came through. I will stick to my regular recipe with a homemade BBQ glaze on top.

No complaints here! Very good!

My husband loooooves this meal. None of it goes to waste. He'll eat leftovers with the same gusto as the first serving, and especially likes a meatloaf sandwich on whole wheat bread.

I really liked this meatloaf. The only changes I made: I used fresh garlic instead of powder and used 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo for the cayenne (next time I'll use at least 2). I also did not cover with foil when baking since I like the outside very brown. I always bake my meatloaves on a broiler pan with foil in the bottom for easy cleanup. It held together very well but was somewhat dry. I used a thermometer, so I don't think I over baked it but my meat was probably too lean. This recipe could be very different depending on what beef (cut and percent fat) is used and the flavor of the BBQ sauce. I also got WAY more than 3 servings out of this, more like 5-6. I'll be making this again.

I altered the recipe a bit (due to limitations of ingredients and an error on my behalf) but it turned out great. Was a nice change of meatloafs. Thanks for the recipe! :)

Amazing, my husband loved it!

We did not like this recipe at all. My guy didn't approve, sorry.

look my man LOVED it. he says i dont cook very good. but he actually complimented it. i was in shock. you gotta try it

I can't believed that I had to wait over 30 YEARS to try meatloaf - if I had this recipe, I would've been hooked ages ago... This one will DEFINTELY be going into the usual rotation ;););););)

This ended up very greasy. Next time, I think I'll skip the bacon and make a glaze on top instead.

MY GUY DEFINTELY APPROVED :) The name says it all :) I didn't have a couple things so I substituted however I can't wait to try this again with the original ingredients. We loved this. My hubby ate almost the whole meatloaf in a 24 hr time frame..eek..he loved it and he's not crazy about reg.meatloaf. Here are my changes: 1 cup crushed potato chips (I used corn flakes) 1 pinch cayenne pepper ( I used 2 pinches) 6 slices bacon (Omitted due to having none on hand) This tastes so good fresh baked :) Thanks for posting this. It is our new meatloaf recipe.

My guy approved!

My husband is not a meatloaf lover, but he really likes this recipe. I used honey bbq potato chips and a sweet bbq sauce because that is his favorite kind but otherwise followed the recipe. It was a real hit, even with picky kids!! Thanks for the recipe.

This recipe was outstanding! Read the reviews and some said it was crumbly...so I used breadcrumbs instead of cracker/potato chip combo...I also used 1 pound hamburger meat and 1 pound of ground venison. I cut the bacon in half and browned it a little before baking the loaf. Cut in half and laying across skinny ways makes it easy to cut the loaf into slices to serve it! I also made a glaze of bbq sauce, ketchup and brown sugar and brushed it over the top and let it cook the last 10 minutes!!! Truly amazing! Didn't even have leftovers!!!

I don't eat beef, but I made this for DH and he liked it a lot, he said it reminded him of brisket? But because he doesn't like ketchup this recipe worked out great, I had the same problem as some of the others-it did not hold together very well but I guess the taste was good because all of the leftovers got eaten!
