Notes
Don't overmix: Gently mix the ingredients just until combined. Overworking the meat mixture can make the meatloaf dense and dry.
Check the temperature: For the juiciest results, cook the meatloaf until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) using an instant-read thermometer.
Let it rest: Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute so each slice stays moist and holds together better.
Great for leftovers: Leftover bacon cheeseburger meatloaf is delicious served cold, reheated, or tucked into a toasted bun with extra cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and your favorite burger toppings.
