A delightful twist on the classic meatloaf, combining the flavors of a cheeseburger with the comfort of a homemade loaf.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, green pepper, oats, milk, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, dry mustard, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan and press it down evenly.
Press gently to avoid compacting the loaf too much.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Check halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the loaf from the oven and spread ketchup evenly over the top. Arrange cheese slices and bacon on top.
Layer the toppings for a visually appealing presentation.
Return the loaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Ensure the internal temperature of the loaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making slicing easier.
