Cheeseburger Meatloaf and Fries
Cheeseburger Meatloaf and Fries is a twist on the classic cheeseburger. Who needs a bun anyway? But don't forget the ketchup!
Ingredients
For the meatloaf:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1 slice white bread, cut into small cubes
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2/3 cup bread crumbs
- 2/3 cup cheddar cheese, medium sharp, shredded
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
For the fries:
- 4 slices bacon
- canola oil for frying
- 4 large potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch sticks
Instructions
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.
Fries:
- While the meatloaf is baking, heat about 36 ounces of canola oil in a medium or large 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.
