I HATE meatloaf but this was something else! It was so good and spicy and delicious that I didn't even know I was eating meatloaf. I usually have to drench meatloaf in ketchup to gag it down, but with this I ate it as it was...no ketchup needed. Definitely approved by this guy.

My husband and our friends from Italy loved this. I was so glad to have made this for our dinner. I wanted to make something authentic to America and this was perfect.

Made this last night for my men...they loved it and so did I. The only change I made was to omit the liquid smoke. Used Club Crackers as one reviewer suggested, and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. The bacon was not quite done at the end, so I removed it and painted the loaf top with BBQ sauce, and crisped the bacon separately back in the oven....will definatly make this one again.

ok, been looking for a good meatloaf recipe. I combined another idea to this one, made the recipe as is (loved the chips, adds calories but hey, this is meatloaf!) added some worstechire and apple butter to the mix. Also didn't pre cook the bacon, put some BBQ sauce on the top and then laid the bacon over it. Cooked for about an hour covered in foil and about 20 minutes uncovered. Awesome! even my wife liked it and she hates meatloaf!

It was OK, but my family likes traditional meatloaf better. I am surprised to read that "most guys" don't like meatloaf! I find they gobble it up! Anything with catsup...

First time around, I made as stated only leaving foil off last 15 min. to crisp up bacon...it was amazing, and Picky Teen Son & The Hubs raved! Made again tonight, only doubled entire recipe & added some crispy FF onions and 4 good dashes Worcestershire. So, SO GOOD! Am hoping there is some left for lunch tomorrow, but...terrific recipe - thanks, Angie!

This is my new favorite meatloaf - delicious recipe. I used smokey barbeque sauce. We loved it.

Disclaimer: I am (was) not a meatloaf fan. Live on a farm and raise cattle, so we have a freezer full of Delicious ground beef and I am always looking to try something new. Found this recipe and I immediately liked it because it is not traditional. Made it for dinner (no changes) and WHAM, I am now a meatloaf lover. All the ingredients meld together in just the right way to give it great flavor and excellent, perfect texture. Took off the foil tent the last 15 min, then stuck under the broiler for just enough time to crisp up the bacon. OMG! Made scratch gravy using beef bullion, garlic salt, cracked pepper, flour and water, and added the pan drippings. (there is very little fat in our beef so grease is not an issue) Wow! What flavor! Served with mashed potatoes. DH and I each had a couple slices, he took leftovers in sandwiches and I warmed up for my lunch. I am a convert and will share with everyone I know, thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

Absolutely delicious! I wasn't sure about the crushed potato chips and crackers, but it ended up being an awesome meatloaf! The only thing I changed was after the meatloaf was cooked, I took the bacon off and added more BBQ sauce on top. Stuck in back in the oven for about 10 minutes and that was it! Thanks for this recipe. I will be cooking this again!
