Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, milk, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
Form the Meatloaf: Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.
Make the BBQ Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar. Mix well.
Glaze the Meatloaf: Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the meatloaf, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Serve: Slice and serve your BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf with extra BBQ sauce on the side. Enjoy!
Notes
For an extra smoky flavor, use a smoky barbecue sauce in the glaze.
You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey for a lighter version of this recipe.
If you prefer a firmer texture, add a bit more breadcrumbs to the meat mixture.
For a delicious twist, top the meatloaf with extra cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
