Cheddar cheese – 1½ cups, shredded 6. Breadcrumbs – 1 cup 7. Eggs – 2 large 8. Yellow onion – 1 medium, finely diced 9. Garlic – 4 cloves, minced 10. Milk – ½ cup 11. Worcestershire sauce – 1 tbsp 12. Dijon mustard – 1 tbsp 13. Italian seasoning – 1 tsp 14. Garlic powder – 1 tsp 15. Smoked paprika – 1 tsp 16. Salt – 1½ tsp 17. Black pepper – 1 tsp 18. Ketchup – ½ cup 19. Brown sugar – 2 tbsp 20. Apple cider vinegar – 1 tbsp 21. Fresh parsley – 2 tbsp, chopped Recipe 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet or loaf pan with parchment paper. 2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. 3. Mix gently with your hands until everything is evenly incorporated. Do not overmix, or the meatloaf can become dense. 4. Place a large sheet of parchment paper on the counter and press the meat mixture into a large rectangle about ¾ inch thick. 5. Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar evenly over the center of the meat rectangle, leaving about 1 inch around the edges. 6. Carefully roll the meatloaf into a tight log, using the parchment to help lift and shape it. Pinch the seams and ends closed so the cheese stays inside. 7. Arrange the bacon slices slightly overlapping each other on a clean sheet of parchment. 8. Place the stuffed meatloaf on top of the bacon and wrap the bacon around the entire loaf, tucking the ends underneath. 9. Transfer the wrapped meatloaf to a baking sheet or roasting pan, seam-side down. 10. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. 11. Brush about half of the glaze over the bacon-wrapped meatloaf. 12. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, brushing with the remaining glaze during the final 15 minutes. 13. Continue baking until the bacon is deeply browned and the center reaches 160°F. 14. For an extra-crispy bacon exterior, broil for 1 to 2 minutes while watching carefully. 15. Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. 16. Garnish with fresh parsley and slice into thick portions, revealing the melted cheese center.
