BACON-TOPPED MEAT LOAF

Bacon-Topped Meat Loaf image

My family loves meat loaf-and this one in particular. I created this bacon meatloaf after trying and adjusting many other recipes over the years. Cheddar cheese tucked inside and a flavorful bacon topping dress it up just right for Sunday dinner! -Sue Call, Beech Grove, Indiana
