Tips for using the bacon

Making the bacon cheeseburger meatloaf
- To start, in a large bowl. Mix together all the ingredients for the meatloaf. Mix just until everything is evenly combined. Cover the bowl then sit the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Grab a sheet pan and line it with parchment paper. Remove the bowl from the fridge and shape the meatloaf on top of the sheet pan.
- Next, place the bacon on top of the meatloaf in layers if you do not create the weave pattern I mentioned in the tips above.
- Place the bacon cheeseburger meatloaf in the oven for 45 minutes. While baking make the sauce topping.
- At 45 minutes, remove the meatloaf and cover in the sauce. Place back and bake an additional 15-30 minutes or until the internal temperature is at least 145F. If you don’t want any red, go to 160F.
- When the meatloaf is done cooking allow it to rest at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving, enjoy.
