Since I'm in the mood to post poor man recipes :) here's another.
First let me say that growing up I was not a fan of meatloaf (sorry Mom); but since my sister told me to try this recipe, I now find myself fixing it for our family! I think the trick is in the bacon & bbq sauce...this ain't your everyday meatloaf!
Ingredients:
2 lbs lean ground round or chuck (I often pair this recipe down and only use 1lb)
1 lg baking potato grated (I've made it w/& w/0 potato--I've also used hashbrowns instead before)
1 medium onion, chopped
1-2 cloves garlic
2 C chopped fresh tomatoes (or a can of them drained)
1 red or green bell pepper, seeded & chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded & finely chopped (fyi--instead of this or the above 2 ingredients, I substituted in mild rotel)
2 tsp prepared mustard or 1tsp dry mustard
1 TBS worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten
3-4 strips bacon
3-4 TBS picante sauce or tomato sauce or BBQ sauce!! (highly recommend the bbq!)
Instructions:
Mix all ingredients, except the bacon & sauce, in a large bowl.
Form into a loaf shape in a shallow baking pan.
Top with strips of bacon & the sauce
Bake at 350 for an hour (check to see if it's done, it may need to cook a little longer)

When I have made this (might should have posted this part too) I do not form mine into a loaf/log shape. I have actually cooked mine in a pyrex type dish and just spread the mixture into the entire pan; almost more like a casserole.
