Cheesy Bacon Meatloaf

We had this yesterday for dinner, and everyone in our family really likes it. So, here it is:

Ingredients:
1-1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup finely ground Stove Top stuffing mix (I use whole wheat chicken flavor)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Real Bacon Bits *see note

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray pan or use parchment paper to keep from sticking. Mix egg and milk. Then add cheese and Stove Top stuffing. Mix to combine. Mix in ground beef by hand. (Try not to over work.) Form into loaf shape and sprinkle bacon on top. Bake for 45 – 60 minutes or until no longer pink in center. You can also mix the bacon right in and form into hamburger patties. Cook on a lower temperature than you would normally cook hamburgers or they will char.

*Note: These are found near the salad dressings at the store. They are actually cheaper than buying raw bacon, cooking it, and crumbling it!! DO NOT use Bacos!! (You can also buy these in a big bag at Costco and keep them in your freezer. They're called Kirkland Signature Crumbled Bacon.)
