This meatloaf rocks my meats and cheeses! Fun to make if you like squishing raw meat together (strangely, I do) and is seriously my favorite meatloaf. Serve with roasted yams with maple syrup, soy sauce, butter and brown sugar and some sauteed kale or collard greens. Or with mac n cheese and and English pea salad. Or with au gratin potatoes and corn soufle. The list is endless. EAT! Recipe credit to Paula Deen.
Ingredients
- 1 pound hamburger
- 10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 (8-ounce) package sharp Cheddar, grated
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs, toasted
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
- 1 (3-ounce) can French fried onions
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine hamburger and next 8 ingredients, mixing well.
In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and mustard. Stir 1/4 cup ketchup mixture into meat mixture, reserving remaining ketchup mixture.
Press meat mixture into a 9 by 5 by 3-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 another 10 to 15 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink.
