Cheesy Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf
Cheese is another ingredient that can take your meatloaf from "meh" to "marvelous." But we're not talking about those plastic-wrapped slices here.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked bacon crumbled
- ½ cup onion finely chopped
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce optional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F 190C.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, cheddar cheese, bacon, onion, ketchup, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until well combined, but do not overmix to avoid a tough meatloaf.
- Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.
- If using, spread the barbecue sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F 71C.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
