Meatloaf

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the bacon drippings and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Mix Meatloaf Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked bacon, sautéed onions and garlic, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.

  5. 5

    Shape and Bake

    Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

  6. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and onion jus.
