List of Ingredients
1/2 cup chili sauce (like Heinz)
2 eggs -- lightly beaten
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 medium onion -- chopped
1 cup sharp cheddar -- (4 oz.) shredded or cubed
2/3 cup dry bread crumbs

Recipe
In a bowl combine the first 8 ingredients.
Crumble beef over mixture; mix well but don't over-mix.
Shape into a loaf in a 13x9x2 baking dish lined with foil. Top with bacon.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 70-80 minutes or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.
Drain; let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
NOTES : I added 1/2 t. garlic powder and about 1/4 t. ground chipotle powder.
