Bacon And Double Cheeseburger Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl combine beef, bread crumbs and milk. Pouring milk directly over bread crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons ketchup, Worcestershire and steak seasoning. Set aside. In a small bowl, crack egg and beat it slightly. This helps prevent overworking the meat while combining, resulting in a tougher meatloaf. Add egg to large bowl with meat mixture. Combine well with hands, do not overwork the meat mixture. Gently press meatloaf into bowl and divide in half. Place first half into 7x10" baking dish and form into a flat meatloaf Gently press the center in to create a rim around the outside of the meatloaf. Add shredded cheese into the center of the meatloaf. Form remaining half of meatloaf in the bowl into a size similar than the meatloaf in the pan. Set on top and press the sides together to seal in the cheese. Form into a loaf shape about 1½ to 2 inches tall. You may notice cracks in the loaf. Run your hands under warm water and then across the meatloaf to smooth the cracks out. Set meatloaf aside. In a small bowl combine 4 tablespoons ketchup and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Mix well with a fork. Apply glaze evenly all over your meatloaf (except the bottom). Arrange bacon slices over the top of the meatloaf. Start by wrapping a piece of bacon across the front side and a second piece of bacon across the back side. Arrange remaining bacon over the top. Tuck the ends of the bacon under the meatloaf (this prevents curling). Place meatloaf in the oven and bake until bacon is crispy, about 1 hour. Remove from oven. Allow to rest uncovered for 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium pan, cook bacon just until limp. Remove from pan and set aside. Remove most of the grease and saute the onions just until soft, cool, and set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix the eggs, mayo, pickles, onions, dry mustard, salt, & pepper, just to combine. Place meat and bread crumbs in a large bowl, and mix in the egg mixture. Mix well. With your hand, score the meat into 3 equal sections, just eyeball it if you want. Take one section of the meat mixture and shape it into an oval about 1 inch thick. This is the bottom layer of the meat loaf. Place 3 slices of the cheese on top of this loaf making sure that they are not hanging over the edge of the meat loaf. You don't want it to melt and run out. Take the next 1/3 section of meat, place it on top of the cheese layer and mold it to the same size as the bottom layer. Lay the last 3 slices of cheese on this layer contuning to keep the cheese away from the edges. Place the rest of the mixture on the top and shape to the rest of the meat loaf. Smooth the sides of the loaf with a little water on your fingers so that you can't see that it was done in layers, and to make sure the cheese won't ooze out when it melts. It may seem like alot of fuss, but it is WELL worth the little extra effort. Spread the ketcup or chili sauce over the top, then place the bacon strips across the meatloaf sideways instead of the length, covering the entire loaf. Bake for 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temp of 160. Remove from oven and tent with foil for about 10 minutes to set. When you slice this, you will be able to see the 2 cheese layers. This sets up nicely and will be great for leftover sandwiches -- .

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until limp and some of the fat is rendered, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and reserve it.
• In a large mixing bowl, use your hands to gently but thoroughly mix together the meat, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of the cheese, onion, mayonnaise, relish, mustard, salt, pepper, and egg. Pat the mixture into a shallow 2-quart baking pan. Spread the top of the loaf with ketchup, then lay the bacon strips over the ketchup. Bake until the loaf is firm and the bacon is crisp, 45 to 50 minutes, sprinkling the top the loaf with the remaining 1/2 cheese to melt during the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking. Let the meatloaf stand in the baking dish for 10 minutes, then cut into squares to serve.
