INGREDIENTS
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 2 eggs slightly beaten
- 6 - 8 slices bacon
- 6 slices american cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine all ingredients except cheese slices and bacon and mix thoroughly.
- Shape into loaf and place in greased crock. Cover with slices of bacon in whatever pattern makes you happy.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
- Use 1 or 2 spatulas to remove bacon covered cheeseburger meatloaf onto a baking sheet and place under broiler for 1 to 3 minutes to crisp up bacon. Keep a close eye on the meatloaf so the bacon doesn't burn.
- add slices of cheese immediately and allow to melt.
Notes:
- Fully defrosted ground beef will be easiest to mix
- Ensure that bacon cheeseburger meat loaf ingredients are mixed well so that each bite has a consistent flavor
- Ketchup or bbq sauce can be added, but I like the amount of moisture in this mixture and I prefer not to add additional flavors
- Broiling is optional, but remember browning the bacon isn't just a color, it adds great flavor to the crock pot meatloaf
- If using the broiler be sure not to let the bacon burn
- always use a meat thermometer to ensure that ground beef has been c0oked to 160ºF
- all cooking appliances and conditions are different, so you should test these times and guidelines first in your own appliance to determine what adjustments may be needed!
