Cheeseburger Meatloaf




Well, the weekend is almost upon us.  What should we cook?  Meatloaf sounds good, but I hate those really Catsupy Meatloaves.  Not a big Catsup lover…..Yuck!  Hmmmm how about my Cheeseburger Meatloaf (pictured at the bottom of this blog).

This recipe is one of my very favorites.  It is melt-in-your-mouth good!

             Cheeseburger Meatloaf
 
2 lbs lean ground beef
½ medium onion, finely diced
¼ bell pepper, finely diced
¼ cup catsup
10 Ritz Crackers – finely crushed (I use my food processor)
1 egg
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Pepper (I like pepper)
1 tsp. Basil
2 cups of cubed Velveeta Cheese

4 thin slices of Velveeta Cheese for top


In large bowl, mix ground beef and all other ingredients, adding the Velveeta Cheese cubes last.  Mix well and place into a meatloaf pan.  Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 1 hour or until no longer pink in the middle when you check with a fork.
Drain as much grease off as you can.  Top with Velveeta Cheese slices and cook another two minutes or so, just long enough to barely melt the cheese on top. 

Serve with Mashed Potatoes!
