Instructions:
Prepare the Meatloaf Mix: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and shredded cheddar until well combined.
Shape the Meatloaf: Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.
Add the Toppings: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and generously spread ketchup and mustard over the top. Lay the slices of cheddar cheese over the meatloaf, followed by the crispy bacon strips.
Final Bake: Return the meatloaf to the oven for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve Hot: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes or a fresh salad!
