Bacon And Cheese Meatloaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/4 lb ground beef
2 None carrots, grated
1 None red onion, finely chopped
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
10 slices bacon, 2 slices chopped
1 None large egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp barbecue sauce
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
3.5 oz Cheddar cheese, cubed
None None salad and French fries, to serve

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Line a large, rimmed baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, carrots, onion, breadcrumbs, chopped bacon, egg, barbecue sauce and rosemary. Season to taste.
Arrange remaining bacon on prepared tray, slightly overlapping. Spoon meatloaf mixture down the center of bacon and shape into an 8 inch log. Press cheese cubes evenly into mixture. Fold bacon over to enclose and secure with toothpicks. Roll over so the seam-side is facing down. Bake for 45-50 mins, or until cooked through, basting halfway through with cooking juices. Loosely cover with foil and let rest for 10 mins.
Remove toothpicks and slice. Serve with salad and French fries.
