Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, combine the cooked and chopped bacon and ground beef.
3
Add 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise, and eggs to the bowl.
4
Season with salt and pepper, then add 1/2 cup of crispy fried onions.
5
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ketchup and mustard to create the glaze.

Pour about half of the glaze into the meat mixture, then add the breadcrumbs. Gently mix with your hands until just combined.
7
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a loaf.
8
Spread the remaining ketchup and mustard glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
9
Bake for 45 minutes.
10
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of crispy onions and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Cook bacon until crispy, then chop finely—this ensures bacon flavor throughout rather than chewy chunks.
Mix ingredients gently with your hands just until combined; overmixing toughens the meatloaf.
Top with crispy fried onions and extra cheddar in the last 5 minutes of baking so they don't burn.
Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking; 160°F internal temperature is the target for food safety.

Substitutions

Ground beef → ground chuck (80/20 blend provides richness without excess fat)
Crispy fried onions → panko breadcrumbs (toasted in butter for similar crunch)
Mayonnaise → additional Worcestershire sauce (1 tbsp) for moisture without egg richness
Shredded cheddar → American cheese or provolone (melts more smoothly)

Storage & make-ahead

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 4 days; reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, or freeze wrapped portions up to 3 months.

Common Questions

Can I make this meatloaf ahead of time?

Yes. Mix the meatloaf mixture, shape into a loaf pan, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. Add 5–10 minutes to baking time if starting from cold.
