Well I would leave out the hot sauce and chili sauce-maybe use ketchup instead but this sounds really good

This is really the best meatloaf I've ever made. I didn't have chili sauce on hand so ketchup was substituted and was great. Thanks for the recipe it's a keeper!

Really good meatloaf! Good flavor and stayed together well. Made awesome sandwiches the next day!

Super yummy meatloaf! My husband and boys love it! (11 and 9 years old) I like to drizzle ketchup on mine. The rest of my family likes brown gravy on theirs. Great recipe!

I love this recipe expecially when I added my own touches such as liquid smoke, garlic, stake sauce.

One of the best meatlaoves I've made, and it slices beautifully. The leftovers made wonderful sandwiches.

I added some more bread crumbs because I thought the mix was too wet. The meatloaf was delicious.

I didn't have any chili sauce, so I used salsa instead. It tasted good, but my picky eaters were not impressed with the large chunks of bread - my fault - I should have ground up the bread.

My family LOVED this meatloaf. I cant wait to take it to work for lunch tomorrow.

this turned out great, although i was a little skeptical from how the mixture looked....i also used medium salsa instead of chili sauce and because i had ran out of ground beef i used ground elk meat instead...it was fantastic! my husband & 2 yr old twins ate it like it was a last meal! will definately make this again, and now i have a for sure use for all the ground elk and venison meat we have!
