This is a delicious meatloaf! It's moist and flavorful and didn't even need a ketchup/bbq sauce/gravy topping! I substitute ground turkey and turkey bacon to the recipe to make it a little lighter.

I have tried dozens of meatloaf recipes and this one is the absolute favorite of my husband. Very traditional, but moist and flavorful; this is the recipe I keep coming back to. I do omit the bell pepper and chili powder and add Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Of course, we might be biased since we're Midwesterners!

This is way too much onion and pepper, even for someone who loves them. I recommend you cut in half what it calls for. Then you'll have a GREAT meatloaf.
