Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf
PREP TIME: 1½ Hours
SERVES: 8-10

2 pounds lean ground beef
½ cup Italian bread crumbs
¼ cup minced onions
¼ cup minced celery
2 tbsps minced green bell peppers
2 tbsps minced red bell peppers
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsps sliced green onions
2 tbsps chopped parsley
2 eggs
1½ tsps salt
1½ tsps black pepper
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup bacon, cooked and crumbled

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, onions, celery, bell peppers, garlic, green onions, parsley, eggs, salt and pepper. Mix well. On a piece of wax paper, shape meat mixture into a ½-inch thick rectangle. Spread cheese over the meat, leaving a ¾-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle bacon over cheese. Roll the meat in a jellyroll fashion to enclose the filling and form a pinwheel loaf. Press both ends to enclose the cheese. Place in a 10" x 15" baking dish and bake for 1 hour or until internal temperature reaches 160°F. Once baked, sprinkle with additional cheese or ketchup and mustard. Any leftovers make great sandwiches for the next day.
