MEATLOAF
1 lb ground beef
1 egg
2 Tbsp bbq sauce (your favorite, I used Jack Daniels original)
1/4 c dry seasoned bread crumbs
1 1/2 tsp Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp sea salt, optional
2 clove garlic zested or minced
1/4 tsp rounded, dry mustard
1/4 tsp rounded, oregano
1/4 tsp rounded, basil
1/4 tsp rounded, black pepper fresh ground
2-3 green onions, white and green part, chopped finely
1/2 small green bell pepper, small dice
1 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese (reserve 1/4c for on top)
TOPPING
3 slice bacon cut in half (6 smaller slices total)
2 Tbsp bbq sauce
1 Tbsp rounded, light brown sugar not packed

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Get out a 9x13 baking pan. Do not use a bread pan. You can line this with foil to help with clean up, or just spray with a non-stick spray. Set aside.
  • 2. Keep hamburger in the refrigerator until the last minute. In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, minced garlic, dry mustard, oregano, basil, pepper, onion and bell pepper. Stir it around a bit to get everything mixed. Add the 2 tsp bbq sauce and egg; mix. Grab the rest of the ingredients... this will go quickly so the "loaf" holds its shape.
  • 3. Take the hamburger and add this to the bowl, QUICKLY mix together with clean hands... forget the spoon. Place 1/2 of the hamburger mix in the center of your pan. Make a "well" with your hand so it looks like a hollowed out 1/2 potato. Add 3/4 cup of the cheese and gently press it in.
  • 4. Add the second half of the hamburger on top and press it together and shape like a log.
  • 5. Lay the bacon strips on top of the loaf.
  • 6. Smear the last 2 tbsp of bbq sauce on top of the bacon. Sprinkle brown sugar on top of the sauce and put this into the oven for 60 minutes. (temp should be 160°F internally)
  • 7. After 60 minutes, you can sprinkle the remaining 1/4 c cheese on top and return it to the oven for 5 minutes, just to let the cheese melt. If you don't want to to this, you can just stuff all the cheese inside and leave the outside to the bacon and bbq sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pieces bacon, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound ground beef chuck
8 ounces ground pork
8 ounces ground veal
8 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded (2 1/3 cups)
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cook bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, until crispy and fat renders, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving renderings in the skillet. Cook the onions and garlic in the pan drippings until brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk the eggs, mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire, cream, salt, and pepper. Add the meat, cheese, parsley, and cooked onion. Chop and add the bacon. Mix with a fork until evenly blended. Whisk the glaze ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Dampen hands with water and on a foil-lined cookie sheet, pat mixture into a loaf shape. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 155 degrees F, about 1 hour. Spread the glaze onto the meatloaf after about 50 minutes. Let loaf rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 small yellow onion, diced
6 slices bacon
8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, cut into quarters
1 tablespoon ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine ground beef, eggs and 2 tablespoons of ketchup in a large bowl. Mix well, then add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, oregano, basil, pepper, and onion. Set mixture aside. Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan with bacon, widthwise. Place half of the meat mixture across the top of the bacon. Lay 3 of the 4 pieces of Cheddar cheese across the center of the meat, lengthwise. Cover the cheese with the second half of the meat mixture and mold the meat into a loaf shape. Pull the ends of the bacon up and around the loaf. Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup thinly over the loaf.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the oven.
  • Cut the final piece of Cheddar cheese into slices and place on top of the meat loaf. Return the meat loaf to the oven and continue baking until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the meat loaf to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef. A blend of 80% lean and 20% fat ground beef is ideal for meatloaf. The fat content helps keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
  • Season the meatloaf well. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help the meatloaf taste its best.
  • Use a variety of fillings and toppings. This recipe uses cheese, bacon, and barbecue sauce, but you can get creative and use whatever you like. Some other popular fillings and toppings include:
    • Sautéed onions and mushrooms
    • Chopped nuts
    • Breadcrumbs
    • Mashed potatoes
    • Gravy
  • Cook the meatloaf to the correct temperature. The internal temperature of the meatloaf should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped BBQ meatloaf stuffed with cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With its smoky bacon flavor, tangy barbecue sauce, and gooey cheese filling, this meatloaf is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
