Good meatloaf! I made this with Elk burger that my father gave me from a hunting trip in Montana. I was afraid the loaf would come out a little gamey but the flavor was fabulous. My one tiny little complaint was that it would kind of fall apart when I cut it. Didn't make much of a difference to me or my husband, but presentation wise it wasn't the best.

My VERY picky boyfriend that doesn't like meatloaf LOVED this one! I didn't use the liquid smoke, but I did put in about 2T of chipotle tabasco sauce! It was EXCELLENT!!

Very tasty! This was the first meatloaf my husband and I ever attempted to make. As a child, I really hated meatloaf night. My mom made the "traditional" style recipe. Yuck! We chose this recipe because I wanted to try something different and my husband loves bbq sauce. We followed the recipe almost exactly except we slightly cooked the bacon first and sauteed the onions in the bacon grease. We used lean meat, bbq ruffles and added extra bbq sauce on top of the meatloaf before topping it with the bacon. I really enjoyed it, although I'm still not a big meatloaf fan. However, my husband LOVED it. We both really liked the addition of bacon. The meatloaf smelled great and the leftovers were good too.

This is really good. I use 1/2 tsp pepper, but keep everything else the same. My husband and I are not big meatloaf eaters, but this is a keeper in our house.

Excellent recipe. My wife was so impressed with the way the meatloaf turned out that she wants me to continue making it this way.I didn't use any liquid smoke because I didn't have any, but I did use both Lays BBQ chips and original Lays.And I also used Cattlemen's Classic BBQ sauce and cooked the bacon first separate from the meatloaf. Towards the last ten minutes of cook time I layered the bacon over the top and added shredded mild cheddar cheese.

Hubby claimed that 'it was okay - for meatloaf'. BUT, I noticed that he ate 2 helpings at dinner and warmed up a huge plate of it the next day for lunch! Thats as 'guy approved' as it gets in my household. Definitely a keeper!!

Guess I was hoping this would be better than the meatloaf I had growing up...I love all of the ingredients, and it smelled wonderful in the oven...but in the end it was still meatloaf. Oh well.

This meatloaf was just average. I thought it would have a smokier flavor. I would make this again, but I would add a layer of american cheese and then cover it in bbq sauce before laying the bacon on it. As is, it was just kinda bland. It definitely has potential though.

This recipe rocks! I tried this recipe three times b4 deciding on the alterations that I liked best. I used 1.25 lbs ground Bison, not ground beef. No onion, crackers or potato chips. Used 1 cup plain bread crumbs. Increase to 1.5 tsp liquid smoke flavoring. Increase to 1 tsp ground black pepper. Decrease to 1/4 tsp salt. FYI for the beef lovers in your family: Bison tastes like beef only much more flavor, more intense. Bison are healthier b/c they can't live contained. They must eat on the free range. Bison are leaner too. The first two times I made this recipe, I used beef. The meatloaf was great, but... then I did the same recipe with Bison, and the meat loaf was AMAZINGly tender, lean, tasty! It was super great! I bought my ground bison at the Whole Foods Market, an organic grocery chain store.

Not to say this recipe was bad but it wasn't great, for that is why there are different colors in the world for peoples taste, but I enjoyed it none the less. It was moist and flavorful and little to smokey but that could have been me I think I added a little more liquid smoke then I should have. goes great with garlic mashed potatoes and a side of green beans or corn on the cob. I recommend trying it. It just might be to your likeing. You will never know if you don't try it. ENJOY!

Always looking for a different zing to normal meatloaf -- this proved to be one. My toddler boys and husband loved it so it fits its name.

Oh my gosh, this was incredible! I'm not even that much of a meatloaf person, but I am now. Sooooo moist and flavorful. I followed the advice of some of the other recommendations and slathered on a bunch of extra BBQ sauce under the bacon (heaven), used seasoned breadcrumbs instead of crushed crackers (fabulous), upped the spices as I do with everything and only cooked it for about an hour. It was perfectly done, and everyone who ate it was obsessed about getting the recipe from me. Also, for a novice/fearful chef like me, it was super-easy to make, and hard to screw up which is always a plus.

Although I have never heard of a man that did not like meatloaf, my boys seemed especially impressed with this recipe. The BBQ sauce and bacon made it stand apart from the rest.

I made this last night for DH and my mom. The only change I made was adding italian style bread crumbs since I was out of crackers. I used the last part of a bag of Cape Cod Sea Salt and Cracked Black Pepper flavored chips. It was awesome! My DH (lover of all things meatloaf) proclaimed this "the best meatloaf I have ever had!" I swear there was a tear in his eye! All evening after dinner he would sniff the air (it did smell wonderful) and say "boy that meatloaf was good!" I suspect that at lunch time DH and my mom will be trying to outwit each other to make a sandwich out of the last piece. I only hope that before they hurt each other they realize that I snuck it out in my lunch bag when I left for work this morning. (insert diabolical laugh here)
