CHEESY MEATLOAF

• In a large bowl combine the beef, pork, soup mix, eggs, bread crumbs, pepper and water. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese. Mix well and spread half of mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Spread remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese over meat loaf mixture. Top with remaining half of meat loaf mixture.

DAD'S CHEESY BACON WRAPPED MEAT LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine ground beef, eggs and 2 tablespoons of ketchup in a large bowl. Mix well, then add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, oregano, basil, pepper, and onion. Set mixture aside. Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan with bacon, widthwise. Place half of the meat mixture across the top of the bacon. Lay 3 of the 4 pieces of Cheddar cheese across the center of the meat, lengthwise. Cover the cheese with the second half of the meat mixture and mold the meat into a loaf shape. Pull the ends of the bacon up and around the loaf. Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup thinly over the loaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the oven.
• Cut the final piece of Cheddar cheese into slices and place on top of the meat loaf. Return the meat loaf to the oven and continue baking until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the meat loaf to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

CHEESY BACON MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-4 loaf pan with parchment paper.
• Combine the meatloaf mix, breadcrumbs, Cheddar, bacon, chives, parsley, eggs, onion, garlic, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, 1 tablespoon of the Worcestershire, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Use your hands to mix together until combined well. Transfer the mixture to prepared loaf pan. Bake the meatloaf for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir the brown sugar together with the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire in a small bowl.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the top and sides all over with the ketchup glaze. Bake until the glaze starts to caramelize and a thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 45 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

• If you freeze it (raw), double wrap in foil.
• To make in crockpot (which I have not done yet)--put 3 heavy duty foil strips, each measuring 18 X 3 inches in a crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel in crock pot. Place meatloaf in the center of the strips. Pull the foil strips up and over the meatloaf. Cover. Use the foil as handles to lift out. Estimating time at 8 hours on LOW or 4 hours on HIGH. Also, read that you can cut up two potatoes, into finger size pieces and put that underneath the meatloaf in crock pot. Ummm.
