CHEESEBURGER MEAT LOAF



Cheeseburger Meat Loaf image

I created this meat loaf one day when I wanted to make cheeseburgers-my husband's favorite-but it was too chilly to grill outside. I've served it numerous times since then, and it never fails to get rave reviews. Even your most finicky eater will enjoy this oven-baked main dish. And you'll appreciate the price-just 51¢ a serving. -Paula Sullivan Barker, New York

BACON-CHEESEBURGER MEATLOAF



Bacon-Cheeseburger Meatloaf image

Bacon-wrapped meatloaf is a wonderful thing and it's only more wonderful when the beefy meatloaf is amped up with cheddar cheese. Try slices on buns with iceberg lettuce and Russian Dressing.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Yield 1 meatloaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 slices day old white bread, torn into small pieces or 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs, preferably homemade
2 yellow onions, finely chopped (11/2 cups)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 pounds coarsely ground chuck, preferably 85 percent lean
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar
8 slices (6 ounces) bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Tear bread into pieces; pulse in a food processor to make fine crumbs (or use plain breadcrumbs) set aside.P
  • Cook the Onions: Pulse onion in food processor until finely chopped (or do so by hand). Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion and 1 teaspoon kosher salt to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, broth, and 1/4 cup ketchup. Remove from heat; let cool completely.
  • Prep the Meat and Glaze: In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup ketchup and brown sugar for glaze; set aside. In a large bowl, combine onions with ground chuck, 1 egg, 1/2 cup reserved breadcrumbs, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper. Mix with your hands until well combined. Gently fold in cheddar.
  • Bake and Let Cool: On a rimmed baking sheet, form meat mixture into a loaf that's 10 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 2 inches high, packing firmly to prevent cracking. Coat top and sides with 1/2 of glaze, then top with bacon, overlapping slices slightly. Brush remaining glaze over bacon. Bake until top is caramelized and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 165 degrees, 55 to 65 minutes. (If top is browning too quickly, tent with foil.) Let cool at least 25 minutes.

Provided by jovigirl

Categories     Meat

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon house seasoning (garlic powder, black pepper, and salt mix)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup crushed cracker (recommended ( Ritz)
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (recommended ( Lawry's)
2 slices white bread
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
chopped onion
1 bunch fresh parsley leaves, chopped
chopped onion, for the sauce (optional)
parsley, for the sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix all ingredients together, except the bread slices and Sauce. Shape into a loaf. Line a 1 1/2-quart loaf pan with the bread slices. Place meatloaf on top. Bake loaf for 1 hour and 15 minutes. The bread absorbs the grease and should be discarded after loaf is removed from oven.
  • For the sauce: Heat the soup and milk over medium heat; add the cheese. Add the chopped onions and parsley to the sauce, if desired. Pour Sauce over the meatloaf or pass at the table.

Tips:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F before mixing the meatloaf ingredients. This helps the meatloaf cook evenly.
  • Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. This gives the meatloaf a juicy and flavorful texture.
  • Add seasonings and spices to the ground beef mixture. This helps to enhance the flavor of the meatloaf.
  • Use ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to make the glaze. This gives the meatloaf a sweet and tangy flavor.
  • Top the meatloaf with shredded cheddar cheese before baking. This gives the meatloaf a golden brown crust.
  • Bake the meatloaf for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads 160°F.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the loaf.
