Notes

πŸ₯“ Use thick-cut bacon for better wrapping and more smoky flavor that infuses the meatloaf during baking
πŸ§€ Let the cheese come to room temperature before layering to ensure even melting throughout the meatloaf
🌑️ Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness – internal temperature should reach 160Β°F for perfect results
