Meatloaf = Yummy

Last night, I made Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf for dinner, recipe compliments of my grandmother and Paula Deen.

Ingredients

1 pound ground chuck
10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 (8-ounce) package sharp Cheddar, grated
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup bread crumbs, toasted
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 (3-ounce) can French fried onions

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck and next 8 ingredients, mixing well.

In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and mustard. Stir 1/4 cup ketchup mixture into meat mixture, reserving remaining ketchup mixture.

Press meat mixture into a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan, or shape into a loaf and place on a rack in a broiler pan. Spread remaining ketchup mixture over loaf. Bake 40 minutes. Top with French fried onions; bake another 10 to 15 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink.

And you get this: BEFORE:AFTER:

You better believe when there was hardly any left for me to take for lunch today after dinner last night and Jay already having took some for his lunch. I opened the fridge this morning to find a tiny butt piece left. What did I do? I PACKED IT! It was far too tasty to even let the butt piece go to waste!
