    Bacon and Double Cheeseburger Loaf







    4 slices bacon
    1 1/2 pounds lean ground chuck or ground round
    1 cup firm fresh white bread crumbs
    1 cup coarsely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
    1 large sweet onion, such as Vidalia, chopped
    2 tablespoons regular or low-far mayonnaise
    2 tablespoons India or other sweet pickle relish
    2 teaspoons dry mustard
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    1 egg
    1/4 cup ketchup

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium skillet, cook the
    bacon over medium heat until it is limp and some of the fat is
    rendered, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and
    reserve it.

    In a large mixing bowl, use your hands to gently but thoroughly mix
    together the meat, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of the cheese, onion,
    mayonnaise, relish, mustard, salt, pepper and egg. Pat the mixture
    into a shallow 2-quart baking pan. Spread the top of the loaf with
    the ketchup, then lay the bacon strips over the ketchup. Bake until
    the loaf is firm and the bacon is crisp, 45 to 50 minutes, sprinkling
    the top of the loaf with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese to melt during
    the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking. Internal temperature should be
    155 degrees. Let the meatloaf stand in the baking dish for 10
    minutes, then cut into squares to serve.

    Yields: 6 servings.
