Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Combine ground beef, eggs and 2 tablespoons of ketchup in a large bowl. Mix well, then add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, oregano, basil, pepper, and onion. Set mixture aside. Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan with bacon, widthwise. Place half of the meat mixture across the top of the bacon. Lay 3 of the 4 pieces of Cheddar cheese across the center of the meat, lengthwise. Cover the cheese with the second half of the meat mixture and mold the meat into a loaf shape. Pull the ends of the bacon up and around the loaf. Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup thinly over the loaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the oven.
- Cut the final piece of Cheddar cheese into slices and place on top of the meat loaf. Return the meat loaf to the oven and continue baking until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the meat loaf to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unravel the pastry on the sheet of baking parchment it comes with, and cut into six squares. Mix the soft cheese with the mustard, if using, and a good grinding of black pepper. Divide between the middles of the pastry squares, and smooth over in a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite side.
- Lay a bacon rasher over the soft cheese, then scatter over the cheese. Brush the two exposed corners of pastry with beaten egg, and fold over the top of the filling to join together. Brush the tops with more egg, then slide the baking parchment on to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese has melted and the pastry is golden.
- Transfer to a cooling rack for 5-10 mins before serving warm. Will keep chilled in an airtight container for two-three days.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange 8 slices bacon in a single layer on a wire rack set inside a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake until browned and crisp, 18-25 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Whisk 10 large eggs in a medium bowl until smooth. Melt 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Pour eggs into pan and immediately start pushing them across the bottom with a heatproof rubber spatula. Cook, scraping bottom and sides, until large curds form but mixture is still a little runny, about 2 minutes. Scatter 1 cup coarsely grated Oaxaca or Chihuahua cheese over and cook, folding into eggs, until cheese is melted and eggs are cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Arrange 4 Homemade Flour Tortillas, warmed, on a surface and divide ¾ cup Creamy Black Beans, warmed, among tortillas, spreading down center of each. Top with eggs and 2 cups crushed tostadas or tortilla chips, dividing evenly, followed by bacon and more cheese (if desired). Fold one side of tortilla up and over filling, then roll up to enclose. If not eating immediately, wrap in foil to keep warm. Store at room temperature up to 1 hour. Do ahead: Burritos can be made 6 hours ahead; chill. Unwrap and reheat in a cast-iron skillet over medium-low to medium 1-2 minutes on each side.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: For a classic bacon cheese melt, use thick-sliced sourdough or a hearty white bread. For a more decadent melt, try using a brioche bun or a croissant.
- Use good quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show in a bacon cheese melt, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, Gruyère, and Swiss are all popular choices.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings: In addition to bacon and cheese, you can add other toppings to your melt, such as sliced tomatoes, avocado, or jalapeños.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy: Crispy bacon is the best kind of bacon, so make sure to cook it until it's nice and brown.
- Preheat your oven or skillet: This will help to ensure that the melt is cooked evenly and the cheese melts smoothly.
Conclusion:
The bacon cheese melt is a classic sandwich that is sure to please everyone. It's simple to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the bacon cheese melt a try.
