LOVE it. I still make my mom's recipe but with BBQ sauce instead of ketchup. Pretty similar to yours. Never used MaDuece; but, other than that, pretty close.

Along with lasagna, best leftovers there are. "MOM, THE MEATLOAF SANDWICHES!!"

The BBQ sauce is an excellent change and much rather use that than ketchup. I also use the mixer to mix everything up the texture is really good that way.

You essentially blend it, eh? I never did that. So you mix the meat, mixed with all the other ingredients. I fine grind my stuff when I make homemade gyros; but I've never made meatloaf that fine. Have to give it a try.

Big mixer gets everything worked together gives it great texture and no hit spots of any one ingredient

My big thing of late is using a homemade chile paste to top it and it gets nice and dark as it bakes. Just a little chile pop on the top.

I always put bacon on top while it bakes. All of that bacony goodness drips down through the meat.

Both great ideas how about combining them everything is better with bacon

Hard to improve much on bacon. Even the fat when it's cooked is the about the best cooking medium you can find.

A buddy and I wanted a different kind of burger one day so we ground bacon into the burger meat. Turned out good, not great. Something about slices of bacon... they're magic. Just a boring BLT is something I never get sick of; until the tomatoes go to heck and the storebought ones are just fibrous water balloons.
