How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 6 slices bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until limp and some fat is rendered (approximately 3-4 minutes).
  3. Remove bacon from skillet and reserve, setting aside on paper towels.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 large egg.
  5. Pat the meat mixture into a shallow 2-quart baking pan.
  6. Spread 1/4 cup ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  7. Arrange reserved bacon strips over the ketchup.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the loaf is firm and the bacon is crispy.
  9. During the last 5-10 minutes of baking, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top to melt.
  10. Let the meatloaf stand in the baking dish for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
