This particular meatloaf recipe gets its flavor from the bacon and ranch. This meatloaf is sort of like a giant juicy bacon hamburger combined with a little zing from the ranch seasoning.

I'm sure it could be made in the oven. If I were going to try making this in a regular oven I would probably try setting the oven to 350 and cooking for maybe 45 minutes (checking after 40).

There's something about meatloaf that I really love and you paired it with delicious Ma and cheese!! I love mine with mashed potatoes :)

Yes, it takes the potatoes off the plate which changes the flavor a bit!
