DOUBLE BACON CHEDDAR
MEAT LOAF
Double Bacon
Cheddar Meat Loaf…what could be better than this meaty, cheesy meat loaf? The
center of the meat loaf has precooked
round Canadian bacon and thick pieces of Cheddar cheese, that melt and it looks
beautiful when the meat loaf is cut. It
is such a tasty meal with some cauli-mash on the side and my tasty Amish
Broccoli Salad recipe. No filler needed for the meat loaf to hold together. It's fine without.
3
eggs, fork beaten
1
tbsp Montreal
3/4 tsp salt (3 mL)
1/2 tsp black pepper (2 mL)
3 lbs
lean ground beef (1.4 kg)
5
slices Canadian bacon, cooked, (2 oz; 57 g)
but not crisp
4
oz Cheddar cheese, cut thickly (125 g)
6
slices raw bacon
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In small bowl, combine eggs, Montreal Steak
Spice, salt and black pepper. Beat well with fork.
In large bowl, combine ground beef and egg mixture
well. Divide the mixture in half. On a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan, form one
half into approximately 3-inch (8 cm) wide log.
Down center, place semi-cooked Canadian bacon rounds and Cheddar cheese
pieces on top. Place remaining ground
beef on top, forming a log and carefully sealing the filling in nicely. Wrap
bacon around loaf, leaving small spaces in between. Bake 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Variation: Hamburgers: Form individual hamburgers with cooked Canadian bacon and Cheddar cheese in the middle.
