Ingredients
  

Meat and Eggs
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 2 pieces eggs
Dairy and Grains
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Bacon
  • 6 slices smoked bacon
Seasoning

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, eggs, milk, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
  3. Line a loaf pan with slices of bacon, overlapping them slightly to cover the bottom and sides.
  4. Press half of the meat mixture into the prepared pan over the bacon slices.
  5. Create a well in the center of the meat mixture and sprinkle the remaining cheeses into this well.
  6. Top with the rest of the meat mixture, pressing it down gently to seal in the cheese.
  7. Carefully fold the bacon slices over the top to create a bacon lattice.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
  2. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Feel free to swap out the cheeses based on your personal taste. To enhance moisture, you may add Worcestershire sauce or Dijon mustard to the meat mixture. For extra crispy bacon, partially cook the bacon before wrapping the meatloaf.
