Great recipe! This sliced up nicely & made great leftovers!

I made a half recipe. This is a fine meatloaf but I guess I prefer a more traditional meat loaf. It is very flavorful.

This recipe gave the meatloaf so much flavor! I loved it, but once again the hubby said he didn't like it. I think he is crazy! I did switch it up a little bit by using l lb of ground chuck, and l lb of ground pork. I put chedder in the meat mixture and in the middle. I thought it was fabulous and I will defiantly be making this again wheather the hubby likes it or not. I even used a spicy bbq sauce because he likes spicey things. On a side note he did have two helpings, lol. But didn't eat the leftovers we had. I did! Next time I think I will put it on a bun for him, hahahaha. Tell him it is a bacon cheese burger.
