BACON CHEESEBURGER MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. When cool, crumble into a large bowl.
• Mix ketchup and mustard in a bowl.
• Thoroughly combine 1/4 the ketchup mixture, ground chuck, Cheddar cheese, eggs, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper with crumbled bacon in bowl; pat the mixture into a 5x9-inch loaf pan. Spread remaining ketchup mixture evenly over top of meatloaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the meatloaf is no longer pink inside, about 45 minutes. Spread French-fried onions over the top of the loaf and return to oven until onions are browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 10 to 15 more minutes.

Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan with bacon, widthwise. Place half of the meat mixture across the top of the bacon. Lay 3 of the 4 pieces of Cheddar cheese across the center of the meat, lengthwise. Cover the cheese with the second half of the meat mixture and mold the meat into a loaf shape. Pull the ends of the bacon up and around the loaf. Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup thinly over the loaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the oven.
• Cut the final piece of Cheddar cheese into slices and place on top of the meat loaf. Return the meat loaf to the oven and continue baking until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the meat loaf to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Coat top and sides with 1/2 of glaze, then top with bacon, overlapping slices slightly. Brush remaining glaze over bacon. Bake until top is caramelized and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 165 degrees, 55 to 65 minutes. (If top is browning too quickly, tent with foil.) Let cool at least 25 minutes.

DAD'S CHEESY BACON WRAPPED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a large bowl combine ground beef with eggs and 2 tablespoons ketchup.
• Once beef mixture is well mixed, add dry ingredients: breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, oregano, basil, and pepper. Followed by the diced onions.
• Set mixture aside.
• In 9x13 pan, line the bottom of the pan with the strips of bacon-- the width, not the length of the pan (you can use a loaf pan, but I warn you, the meatloaf is greasy, and the loaf pan can get very full).
• Take half of the meat mixture and pat it across the top of the bacon. This should be the bottom part of your loaf. Take THREE of the four pieces of cheddar cheese and place them across the center of the meat mixture (this will be your cheesy center!).
• Take the second half of the meat mixture and add it on top of your cheese. Mold the meat into a loaf shape. The cheese should be completely covered and in the center of the loaf.
• Finally, pull the bacon and wrap it around the loaf. Take your final tablespoon of ketchup and thinly spread it across the top of meatloaf.
• Put meatloaf in oven and cook for 60 minutes.
• Take final quarter of cheddar cheese and cut in to slices.
• Place these final cheese slices on top of the meatloaf, and put meatloaf back into oven until the cheese is melted (approximately 5 minutes.) Let meatloaf sit for a few minutes to cool before serving.

BACON CHEESE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Combine the meats, eggs, bread crumbs, ketchup, seasoned salt, and Italian seasoning. Divide in half. Form one half into a loaf and place it in a treated casserole dish. Place sliced cheese on top, leaving an inch border all the way around on the outside. Put the other half of the meat on top of the cheese, and press down on the edges to seal. Drape bacon over top of the meatloaf, overlapping slightly, and tuck the ends underneath. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 90 minutes or until you get an internal reading of 160 degrees F. Let the meatloaf rest a few minutes before slicing. I made a 3-pound meatloaf, so we'd have plenty of leftovers for sandwiches. You can adjust the size to suit your family, of course. The rule of thumb is to cook meatloaf 30 minutes for every pound of meat. Use a meat thermometer to make sure it's fully cooked.
