Meatloaf is pure comfort food and it doesn't get better than this bacon cheeseburger version. We use oats and stuffing mix as the binder, so the meatloaf is nice and moist every time. The tangy sauce is made with a mixture of ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar - hard to resist!
Chop the bacon into bite sized pieces and place in a hot skillet over medium heat. Fry until just about crisp. Drain and add bacon to a large bowl.
Add the beef, cheese, oats, stuffing mix, mayonnaise, egg, and salt to the bowl with the bacon.
In a small bowl combine the ketchup and mustard. Add half of the mixture to the meatloaf mixture. Add the tablespoon of brown sugar to the remaining ketchup and mustard and set aside.
Use your hands to combine the meatloaf mixture until well mixed. Dump into a large baking dish and shape into a loaf about 8 inches long and 4 inches thick.
Spread the ketchup and mustard mixture over the meatloaf.
Bake for 45 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center reads 160 degrees.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
Feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste. Whatever you normally season burgers with will be great here, such as worcestershire sauce and seasoned salt. Just keep in mind the stuffing mix is already a bit salty. We normally use 80% lean beef, but with the addition of mayo, cheese, and bacon we go for a leaner beef in this recipe.
