Cheesy Bacon Meatloaf Recipe - Delicious & Easy

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced bacon (cooked and crumbled)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, cheddar cheese, bacon, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

    Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
  3. Shape the Meatloaf

    Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and mold it into a loaf shape.

    Use your hands for an even shape.
  4. Bake the Meatloaf

    Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour.

    Check the internal temperature; it should reach 160°F.
  5. Rest and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

    Resting helps retain juices for a moist meatloaf.
