👩🍳 Instructions
🔥 Step 1: Prepare the Meat Mixture
In a large bowl, combine ground beef and ground pork. Add breadcrumbs, eggs, diced onion, garlic, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Mix gently until everything is well incorporated. Do not overmix to keep the meat tender and juicy.
🧀 Step 2: Create the Triple-Cheese Layers
Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions. Press the first portion into a loaf shape on a lined baking sheet or in a loaf pan. Sprinkle cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack evenly over the top, leaving space around the edges. Place the second portion of meat mixture on top and seal the edges to lock in the cheese.
🥓 Step 3: Wrap with Smoked Bacon
Lay bacon strips over the top, tucking them underneath the loaf. This creates a smoky outer layer and keeps the meat incredibly moist while cooking.
✨ Step 4: Add the Glaze
Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard in a small bowl. Brush generously over the bacon-wrapped meatloaf.
🔥 Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 60–75 minutes, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep the juices inside.
