Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 Loaf pan
  • 1 Frying pan
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound bacon chopped
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 small onion finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Cook the chopped bacon in a frying pan until crisp, then drain on paper towels.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked bacon, breadcrumbs, cheddar cheese, milk, eggs, onion, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  • Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan, pressing down gently to shape.

Notes

To ensure your meatloaf stays moist, avoid overmixing the ingredients, which can make the meatloaf dense. If you like a bit more flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the mixture. For a crispy topping, add a thin layer of ketchup on top of the meatloaf before baking.
