Cheeseburger meatloaf is the ultimate comfort food that will fill you up and satisfy your cheeseburger craving. This meatloaf is packed with flavor thanks to the ketchup, mustard, cheddar and bread & butter pickles. Serve cheeseburger meatloaf with a fresh garden salad and my creamy mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup ketchup - divided 
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup grated white onion
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1 cup diced bread & butter pickles
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Add the ground turkey, 1/4 cup ketchup, eggs, grated onion, Worcestershire sauce, panko bread crumbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder to a large mixing bowl.  Mix until just combined.
  3. In a separate, small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup and yellow mustard.
  4. Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the rimmed baking sheet.  Form the mixture into a rectangular loaf shape.  The loaf should be about 6" x 9" and 1.5 inches thick.  Bake the meatloaf for 50-55 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads at least 165°F.  
  5. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and top it with the ketchup & mustard sauce, diced pickles and shredded cheddar cheese.  Spread the sauce, pickles and cheese out evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  6. Return the meatloaf to the oven and continue cooking the meatloaf for another 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted. 
  7. Remove the cheeseburger meatloaf from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.  Slice the meatloaf into 8 equally sized slices, serve and enjoy!
