Restaurant Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Created by ForeverMama on November 10, 2023

Meatloaf
2 pounds lean ground beef (personally, I don't use super lean beef, because the fat adds moisture)
1/2 - 1 medium red onion, sliced and grilled (once grilled, chop the onion up)
6-8 bacon strips, cooked and chopped (if infusing). If you are placing the bacon on top of the loaf just par cook the bacon)
1 pound mild cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
4 medium eggs
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, add all meatloaf ingredients together and mix well. Make certain all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
Step 3: On a greased sheet pan or loaf pan, mold the meat into a loaf. (I personally prefer placing it on a sheetpan to release any grease)
Step 4: Precooked strips of bacon (optional)
Step 5: Glaze the meatloaf with about 1/3 of glaze mixture.
Step 6: Place the meatloaf to oven and bake for 15 minutes
Step 7: Remove meatloaf again and re-glaze using another 1/3 of the mixture
Step 8: Lay bacon strips (if using) on the top of the meatloaf.
Step 9: Return meatloaf to oven a bake at 400 degrees F for another 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F.
Step 10: Remove from oven and let the meatloaf rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 11: Slice the meatloaf and serve.
Step 12: Any remaining glaze mixture can be served as a side for dipping.
NOTE: The oven bake time seems short, but because it's at a somewhat higher temperature than what I normally cook mine for, make sure it's cooked through.
