Um, the cooking instructions are lacking in this one - what, exactly, am I supposed to bake it in?! A loaf pan- what size? Mounded on a half-sheet?
It’s good! Doubled the seasoning or at least 1.5 on the mustard, mayo, used regular cream cheese, one tsp Emeril’s seasoning. Used a red pepper and sautéed it with the onions. Six cloves of garlic. 8 oz of regular mushrooms. Used the cuisinart for fine chop.
I made this meatloaf for a very picky meatlover. I omitted the bacon and garlic, and reduced the onion by half. It was flavorful and moist—easily the best meatloaf I have ever made (and I have made a number of different recipes). This was the best.
This was the best meatloaf I have ever eaten. Delicious. I just didn’t par-cook the bacon and add it later in cooking. Lattice raw bacon atop the loaf in the beginning. Mound the meat in a baking pan. No need for a loaf pan.

Am I missing something? Where is there any guidance on how this is to be placed in the oven....in a pan? If so, what size? Mounded in the middle of a cookie pan? Any general measurements to give a clue?
