Submitted by Sheila the Great

"Best meatloaf ever. The Jalapeños don't make this hot at all. Just gives a great flavor. This the bacon and sauce is awesome. I like extra sauce to dip ."

Made for Spring PAC 2011 and we loved it! I did add the flour but I don't think you really needed it and I cut down on the brown sugar just a little. The jalapenos that I had really weren't too spicey just enough. Definately a keeper and going into my Favorites for 2011. Thank you for submitting the recipe.
