This was AMAZING! We made 2 of them using beef for my husband's and Impossible "meat" for mine. All I can say is WOW! The sauce...to die for! We will absolutely make this again in the future!

We cooked this recipe in cast iron loaf pans, divided between two... drained the fat after cooking. Split between oven (First) and big green egg (second) time wise 30 min each... excellent results, So happy with the results!

Dee.Lish.Us. Like another reviewer mentioned, I’ve never been a big meatloaf fan and I think I made once before trying this recipe. This was fantastic. Flavor was so good, meat was so tender and best of all, it wasn’t labor intensive. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because my bacon didn’t turn out crispy, despite following directions to a tee. I would highly recommend this recipe.

This is seriously my go to recipe for meatloaf, and have been making it for the last 7 years! Yes, it is THE best meatloaf recipe!!

omg...the best meatloaf, quarantined or not, that I’ve ever made. The small amount of leftovers will become awesome Sunday brunch sammies! TY ssssoooo much!

OMG the best meatloaf ever. Surprisingly forgiving recipe. We didn't wrap it completely in bacon, just a few strips on the top. Also didn't saute the onions and garlic, just mashed them into the loaf with everything else and didn't use a food processor. Secret is the sauce, and the sauce must contain ketchup. Meatloaf is comfort food, and this recipe hits all the right notes.

Really really delicious. Super moist, tender, and flavorful. My loaf only needed 45 minutes in the oven so make sure you use a thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature!

Hands down the best meatloaf I’ve ever made, and I’ve made a lot of it over the years. This just replaced all other meatloaf recipes in my collection. I used 1/2 turkey, 1/2 ground chuck. Also used basil instead of parsley as I had no parsley. Moist, juicy, amazing. The sauce!!

This was my first meatloaf, and I am 50 years old. Never liked it as a kid. This was DELICIOUS. I can’t get over it. So juicy, flavorful, and addictive. Love the bacon and the sauce on top. The only issue was that you really need to allow it to cool before cutting or it will fall apart. I’m a hug fan of meatloaf now.

Can't I just put it in a in a meatloaf pan?

Have to say... this is probably one of the best meatloaf recipes I've ever tasted! And I sincerely mean that. This from now on will be the meatloaf that I make for my family. It tastes exactly the way meatloaf should taste from the bacon, to the delicious sauce, to the meat. I actually made it with half ground beef and half ground turkey and it was great. And I also did not use parchment paper which was no problem. Cant say enough about this recipe... simple and delicious. Definite thumbs-up!

SOOOOOO GOOD. Bring that bacon-draped beauty to the table and everyone's eyes bug out. (In a good way.) Vroom vroom vrooooooooooom!
