Aunt Jean’s Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Aunt Jean’s Cheeseburger Meatloaf

This meatloaf won awards for two different generations. You can ask anyone, when people try my meatloaf, I always get a “That’s the best meatloaf I have ever had!” So now you can be a hero too and serve some pretty awesome meatloaf.

Ingredients:

1 lb.        Ground beef

2              eggs, beaten

1              sleeve of Ritz crackers, “beat up”

¼ c          Mayo

1 tbsp.  Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp.     salt and pepper

1/3 c      ketchup

2 tbsp.  Dry mustard

½ c.        Evaporated milk

2 tbsp.  chopped onion

10           slices of bacon, crumbled

3 oz.       French fried onions

1 c.         shredded sharp cheddar

Directions:

1.       Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fry bacon to preferred consistency, set aside.

2.       Combine all ingredients except the last three in large mixing bowl (will be runnier than most meatloaf recipes)

Ready to go in the oven

3.       Place half of meat mixture in large loaf pan. Then, layer half of the bacon, followed by half of the French fried onions, and half of the cheese. Place the remaining meat mixture in pan. Cover with remaining bacon, FF onions, and cheese.

4.       Bake for 1 hour at 350.

I learned so much from these two.
I miss them every day.
