Cheesy Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf
Cheesy Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf is a savory, family-friendly spin on the classic meatloaf—packed with ground beef, melty cheddar, smoky bacon, and all the flavors of a cheeseburger in one comforting bite.
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
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or line a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients—ground beef, breadcrumbs, cheese, bacon, onion, ketchup, eggs, Worcestershire, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined.
- Transfer to the loaf pan and shape into a smooth, even loaf.
- Spread barbecue sauce on top if using, for added flavor and glaze.
- Bake for 60–70 minutes, until the center reaches 160°F (71°C). Tent with foil if the top browns too fast.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This keeps it juicy and easy to cut.
