Instructions
Creating this mouthwatering Cheeseburger Meatloaf is an easy process. Here’s how to do it:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, ¼ cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
3. Incorporate Cheese and Pickles: Gently fold in the shredded cheese and chopped pickles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Shape the Loaf: Transfer the mixture to your prepared loaf pan, shaping it into a neat loaf.
5. Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the additional ketchup and mustard to create a glaze. Spread the mixture on top of the meatloaf.
6. Bake: Place the loaf pan into the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour. A meat thermometer should read at least 160°F (70°C) in the center of the meatloaf.
7. Cool: Once done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This will make slicing easier.
8. Slice and Serve: Carefully transfer the meatloaf to a cutting board. Slice it into portions as desired and serve warm.
