Comfort Foods---Cheeseburger Meat Loaf

I have never liked meatloaf, but my husband does, so I have tried many different recipes. The one that I found that I do like is the Cheeseburger Meat Loaf. It is simple and quick to make, and very tasty to eat! This recipe is from Taste of Home's "Quick Cooking", and was submitted by Paula Sullivan. I haven't made this for a while, so it will be what's for dinner at my house tomorrow!

Cheeseburger Meat Loaf

1/2 cup ketchup, divided
1 egg
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tsp. onion powder
1 pound lean ground beef
2 tsp. prepared mustard
2 tsp. dill pickle relish
6 slices American cheese

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup ketchup, egg, bread crumbs and onion powder. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. On a large piece of waxed paper, pat the beef mixture into a 10-inch x 6-inch rectangle. Spread the remaining ketchup over meat to within 1/2-inch of long sides and 1 1/2-inches of short sides. Top with the mustard and relish.

Place four cheese slices on top; set remaining cheese aside. Roll up loaf, jelly-roll style, starting with a short side and pulling away waxed paper while rolling. Seal seams and ends well. Place loaf, seam side down, in a greased 11-inch x 7-inch x 2-inch baking pan.

Bake at 350' for 45 minutes or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160'. Cut the reserved cheese slices in half diagonally; place on top of loaf. Return to the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
Yield: 6 servings.
