• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

• ½ cup bread crumbs

• ¼ cup ketchup

• ¼ cup mustard

• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 eggs

• Salt, to taste

• Black pepper, to taste

For the Topping (Glaze)

• ½ cup ketchup

• 1 tbsp mustard

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

 Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.

2. Mix the Meatloaf

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

• ground beef

• crumbled bacon

• shredded cheddar

• bread crumbs

• ketchup

• mustard

• Worcestershire sauce

• chopped onion

• minced garlic

• eggs

• salt and pepper

Mix until everything is evenly combined (don’t overmix, or it can get dense).

3. Shape the Loaf

Press the mixture evenly into your prepared loaf pan and shape it into a smooth, even loaf.

4. Make the Glaze

In a small bowl, stir together:

• ketchup

• mustard

• brown sugar

Mix until smooth.

5. Add the Topping

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

6. Bake

Bake for 60–75 minutes, or until the meatloaf is fully cooked and the top is lightly caramelized.

7. Rest and Serve

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps keep it juicy.
