Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf

I like meatloaf, easy to prepare and delicious with mashed potato or just boiled potatoes and a green veggy. I got this recipe from my Dad, so it gets 5 stars as being good! Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.

Ingredients
  

  • 500-750 grams ground beef, OR ground pork
  • 1 cup potato chips, crushed, BBQ flavored if available
  • 1/2 cup butter cracker crumbs, think Magic brand, similar to Ritz but costs less
  • 1 egg, large
  • 1/8 cup mustard
  • 1/4 cup ketchup, OR make from a shortcut on this site
  • 1 spoonful relish, sweet or dill, no worries
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced, just dice a small onion
  • 2 tablespoons pickle juice
  • 4-6 slices bacon
  • Cheddar cheese, sliced, use real cheese!

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except bacon and cheese, easiest way to mix this is with your hands.
  • Take half of the meat mixture and press into a baking dish.
  • Cut the Cheddar Cheese into slices and place on top of meat mixture.
  • Top the Cheddar Cheese with remaining meat mixture.
  • Lay slices of bacon on top of the meat mixture (it will cook while the meatloaf does).
  • Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes, or until cooked through. Let rest 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy! Served with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable.

Notes

Not a cheap meal, but less expensive if using pork and Magic brand crackers. Minced pork is 125 Baht per kilo, this would be less than that for the meat, a few slices of imported cheese, a few baht more but you can get a lot of meals out of cheese. For beef, not sure of the price as that is not available here. At 6 meals, probably a few more, I would say $1 or less per person.
