I have only made a few meatloafs over the years. This one just came out the "Best Ever". It is extremely easy and you probably have what you need right in your own kitchen. Enjoy!

My Husband and I enjoyed this recipe. It was a snap to put together and just the right amount for the two of us and we still have half left for meatloaf sandwiches. I left out the green bell pepper because I didn't have one. I will be making this recipe again and again. Thank you for the recipe !!

This was just not what I expected. I wanted more seasoning and the meatloaf was very dense. The bacon made it too greasy for our tastes (perhaps I should have par-cooked it before putting it on the meat.) We did enjoy it more the next night when I made a mushroom gravy to top it with. Donna

This is a good recipe and easy to make. The only problem I had was that the whole thing fell apart. I followed the recipe exactly. Thanks, Donna

This was yummy! Even my husband who "doesn't like meatloaf" really enjoyed it and asked if I'd make it again sometime. I added some small cubes of cheddar cheese to the meat mixture and it came out great. The bacon was nice and crispy and the meatloaf was moist. Meatloaf doesn't get any easier than this! I'm adding this recipe to my collection.

Now that's a good meatloaf!!! The bacon gives this an awesome flavor. Don't change a THING - this is perfect as is! (Although next time I make it I'm gonna roll some mozzarella inside and see how I like it)
