Bacon Wrapped BBQ Meatloaf Stuffed with Cheese! image

Well, this certainly isn't a boring meatloaf. There are so many layers of goodness and it's full of flavor. Really, anything wrapped in bacon is just on a whole other level. The cheese in the middle is an ooey, gooey surprise. Double the recipe if you're serving a family. After one bite I am not sure your family will ever want...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 20

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.

This recipe was a disaster. The meatloaf was dry and crumbly, and the cheese didn't melt. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this again.

This meatloaf was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time, maybe some garlic powder or onion powder. The texture was good, but it needed a little more flavor.

This meatloaf was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more liquid next time, maybe some beef broth or tomato sauce. The flavor was good, but it needed a little something extra.
