Bev's Bacon and Cheddar Topped Meatloaf


This is the ultimate comfort food meat loaf.  Not only is the meat loaf incredibly moist and flavorful, but then you have a delicious bacon and cheese topping. Thanks to my friend Bev for sharing her recipe and for baking this for me when I need some comfort food.

3 lbs. ground chuck
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup evaporated milk
1 t. salt
3/4 t. pepper
1 1/2 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed

Topping:
6 pieces bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup grated mild to medium Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  

In a large bowl, combine first six ingredients.  Place in a large, greased casserole dish.  Arrange bacon pieces on top.  

Bake for 50 - 60 minutes.  Sprinkle with cheese during last 10 minutes of cooking.

Let rest 5 minutes or so before serving.
