by

This Bacon BBQ Cheeseburger Meatloaf combines all the best flavors of a classic cheeseburger, wrapped in the comforting goodness of a meatloaf. The smoky BBQ sauce, savory bacon, and melted cheddar cheese work together to create a dish that’s both hearty and indulgent. Each slice offers a mouthwatering bite that will remind you of your favorite BBQ burger, but in a more comforting, cozy form.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for glazing)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, ketchup, BBQ sauce, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix together until everything is well combined.
  3. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped red onion until evenly distributed throughout the meat mixture.
  4. Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan or shape it into a loaf and place it on the baking sheet.
  5. Brush the top of the meatloaf with additional BBQ sauce for a glossy finish.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). If you like your meatloaf with a bit of a crispy top, broil it for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
