Crock-Pot Bacon Cheddar Meatloaf Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 Ounces Center Cut Bacon
- 2 Pounds Extra Lean Ground Beef
- 2 Cups Plain Bread Crumbs
- 2 Large Eggs
- 3 Tablespoons Ranch Dressing Mix (Homemade (Or 1 Packet Store Bought))
- ½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Cup Ketchup
- ¼ Cup Bottled Barbecue Sauce (Your Favorite Brand)
Instructions
- Cut bacon into small pieces and cook in a large skillet on the stove-top until bacon is crispy. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and allow the bacon to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the ground beef, half of the cooked bacon, bread crumbs, eggs, ranch dressing mix, salt and pepper until well combined.
- Place meat mixture on a baking sheet or cutting board and shape into loaf shape.
- Make a wide indentation in the top and add 1/2 cup of cheese, then fold over the sides to seal on top, creating a pocket of cheese in the middle of the meatloaf.
- Gently place the meatloaf in a lightly greased 6 quart or larger slow cooker (or use a slow cooker liner sprayed with non-stick cooking spray).
- Sprinkle remaining cheese and bacon on top.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup and barbecue sauce, then pour on top and spread until the top of the meatloaf is covered.
- Cover slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours until the internal temperature of the meatloaf registers 160°F (72°C) on an instant read meat thermometer.

Meat loaf is what of my favorites. This looks awesome . Thank you for sharing
Thanks Stacy! I hope you give it a try!
Is the nutritional information for 1 serving or the whole recipe?
For one serving.
The recipe says 4-6 hours on high but the instructions say 4-6 hours on low??
Which is it???
Hi Tom, thanks so much for commenting! I just checked my recipe notes so that I could clarify. The correct cooking time is 4 to 6 hours on LOW. I have gone ahead and edited the recipe. Super sorry for the confusion!
I made a few changes… Used American slices instead of cheddar, added an onion, and swapped in a meatloaf packet for the ranch pack and the salt/pepper. Came out tasting like a meatloaf cheeseburger! Fantastic!
