My family loves meat loaf- this one in particular. I created the recipe after trying and adjusting many other recipes over the years. Cheddar cheese tucked inside and a flavorful bacon topping dress it up just right for Sunday dinner!

This was a great meatloaf. My children don't like meatloaf but with this recipe there was no leftovers. We will definatley make this one again. I didn't have breadcrumbs so I crushed up onion garlic croutons. This had a great flavor.

I did not have Worcestershire or chili sauce so I substituted taco sauce. I also doubled the bacon. It was myh best meatloaf ever.

Good directions. I didn't have chili sauce so I substituted taco sauce and since I didn't have the Worcestershire sauce I had to skip that ingredient. I doubled the bacon. It was fantastic

This is the best meatloaf I've ever had. I made a sauce to put on top using ketchup and worcestershire sauce. Yum!

I've made this meatloaf many times over the past year or so. I (in fact everyone who has tasted it) think it's really very delicious. I made one change in recipe though. Instead of 1/2 cup of chilli sauce I use 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce. YUM!!!
