- 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.

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!
