Turn your cheeseburger into a delicious mini meatloaf. We love this twist on a classic, and there’s no need for a bun. Simply mix the meatloaf ingredients in a large bowl, form it into mini meatloaves and top it with strips of bacon.

Cheeseburger Meatloaf and Fries Recipe

What’s needed:

For the meatloaf:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 slice of white bread, cut into small cubes
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 cup medium sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 green onions chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt

For the fries:

• 4 slices of bacon
• canola oil for frying
• 4 large potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch sticks

How to make Cheeseburger Meatloaf?

• Mix all ingredients, except the bacon, in a large bowl. Form into four small loaves. Place the loaves in a large baking dish.

• Cut each strip of bacon in half and place on top of meatloaf. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes.

How to make homemade fries?

• While the meatloaf is baking, heat about 36 ounces of canola oil in a medium pan. I used a medium Dutch oven. You should have about 3 to 4 inches of oil in the pan. Heat to 350 degrees. Cut your potatoes into 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch sticks. I do not peel the potatoes.

• When oil is hot, drop a few sticks at a time into the oil. I do about two potatoes at one time.
• NEVER leave the stove when frying something in hot oil. Fry the potatoes for about 7-8 minutes. Remove them from the oil with a long-handled slotted spoon. Place the hot fries on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat until all potatoes are fried. Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked black pepper.

• To ensure crispness, place all fries on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and place under a 400 degree broiler for about 5-7 minutes.

Serve these crispy homemade fries with Cheeseburger Meatloaf and…you guessed it, ketchup. To really get the kids to dig in, make chocolate milkshakes to round out this All-American meal!
