Bacon Chili Cheeseburger Meatloaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (12 ounce) package center-cut smoked bacon, diced
    1 sweet onion (such as Vidalia(R)), chopped
    1/2 cup ketchup
    2 tablespoons chili powder
    2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    2 pounds ground sirloin
    4 ounces shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
    4 ounces shredded pepper jack cheese
    2 eggs, beaten
    1 cup bread crumbs
    1 serving cooking spray
    1/2 cup ketchup
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1 teaspoon ground ancho chile pepper
Preparation
    Cook and stir bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until bacon is translucent and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes; stir in onion and continue cooking and stirring until bacon is browned and sweet onion is translucent, about 5 more minutes.
    Mix 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 2 tablespoons ancho chile powder, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, cumin, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Mix in ground sirloin, bacon-onion mixture, Cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, eggs, and bread crumbs until thoroughly combined. Form the mixture into a loaf shape and refrigerate 1 hour.
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray the foil with cooking spray.
    Place loaf into the prepared baking dish. Mix 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1 teaspoon ground ancho chile in a bowl. Spread the mixture over the loaf.
    Bake in the preheated oven until the loaf is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, 1 hour and 5 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
