A comforting and mouthwatering meatloaf recipe inspired by the flavors of a classic cheeseburger, perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (regular or seasoned)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped pickles
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (plus extra for topping)
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard (for topping)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, diced onion, pickles, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to shape. Smooth out the surface.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together ketchup and mustard to create the topping. Spread this evenly over the meatloaf with a spatula.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
  6. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the meat mixture to avoid a dense meatloaf.’, ‘Use a thermometer to ensure the meatloaf is cooked perfectly.’, ‘Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain juices.’, ‘Customize the topping with paprika or hot sauce for extra flavor.’, ‘Prep the meatloaf mixture the night before for convenience.’]
