Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup extra shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)
• 3 slices extra cooked bacon (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, chopped onion, cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until everything is well incorporated, but avoid over-mixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 3

Transfer the meatloaf mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently and shaping the top to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.

Step 5

After 50 minutes, carefully remove the meatloaf from the oven and sprinkle the top with extra shredded cheddar cheese and additional chopped bacon, if desired. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 6

Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the meatloaf has reached 160°F (71°C). This ensures it is fully cooked.

Step 7

Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Slice and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.
