Bacon-Topped Meat Loaf Recipe

By bakers_delight85

My family loves meat loaf- this one in particular. I created the recipe after trying and adjusting many other recipes over the years. Cheddar cheese tucked inside and a flavorful bacon topping dress it up just right for Sunday dinner!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chili sauce
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
• 2/3 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
• 2 bacon strips, halved

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into a loaf in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Top with bacon.

Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 70-80 minutes or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160°. Drain; let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 8 servings.
