I've said this before and I'll say it again I think my meatloaf recipe is the best but, I'm always willing to try something different. I had seen this bacon cheeseburger meatloaf on Pinterest and when I clicked on it to get the recipe it was a Paula Deen one and since I just love her I decided to try it. We have been to Savannah although, we didn't get to eat at her restaurant we did go next door to the gift shop and her two sons just happened to be there they are so cute and funny. We did eat at her brothers place which was catered by The Lady and Sons that day the food was yummy. So, that all being said this recipe comes from www.pauladeen.com .
Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf
1 pound ground chuck
10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 (8 oz.) package sharp cheddar cheese
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 c. bread crumbs, toasted
1/4 c. mayonnaise
1 Tbls. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/3 c. ketchup
2 Tbls. prepared mustard
1 (3oz.) can French fried onions
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck and next 8 ingredients, mixing well.
In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and mustard. Stir 1/4 c. ketchup mixture into meat mixture, reserving remaining ketchup mixture.
Press meat into a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan, or shape into a loaf and place on a rack in a broiler pan. Spread remaining ketchup mixture over loaf. Bake 40 minutes. Top with French fried onions; bake 10-15 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink.
My note: After reading some of the comments I left the salt out completely and I also, don't care for the French fried onions it's a texture thing. So, I added a half red onion, finely chopped to the meat mixture. The rest I did exactly as directed. Some of the comments also, said the meatloaf cracked and of course mine did but, it was still pretty tasty and, I don't really consider that a big deal.
I will have to admit that although, this meatloaf was tasty it's still not my recipe :) I served it with fried potatoes and the last of our garden squash I put up last summer just in time for the next crop to come up. Enjoy!!!!!!
