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.

2              eggs, beaten

1              sleeve of Ritz crackers, “beat up”

¼ c          Mayo

1 tbsp.  Worcestershire sauce

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

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
