So I’ve been spending some time over on Goodeness Gracious looking at some of the yummy recipes I did over there before cRockin’ took over my kitchen. That is when I saw these BBQ Ranch Stuffed Cheddar Burgers that I made out on the grill. Well, good ol’ Mother Nature isn’t being too predictable lately, so planning on using the grill isn’t a good idea just yet. However, I could combine that recipe with a meatloaf recipe (and add bacon, because when I first saw these burgers my eyes had a Freudian slip and saw bacon in the title…welcome to the chaos in my mind!) and come up with what I believe just might be the ultimate meatloaf…Crock Pot BBQ Bacon Cheddar Meatloaf! Yum!

Note: Scroll to the bottom for the printable recipe.

Ingredients for Crock Pot BBQ Bacon Cheddar Meatloaf

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 12 oz pkg bacon
  • 2 cups oats
  • 2 packets of ranch dip mix (1 oz each)
  • 2 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 oz bag mild shredded cheddar
  • Favorite BBQ Sauce (We used a Honey Sweet sauce)

How to Make BBQ Bacon Cheddar Meatloaf in a Crock Pot

  1. Chop your bacon and fry in batches
  2. Mix together your ground beef, 1/2 of your bacon, oats, ranch dip mixes, salt, pepper and eggs until it is well combined
  3. Put your ground beef mixture in a lightly greased 6-quart crock pot (I used Sir Hamilton, my Hamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cooker)
  4. Push your ground beef down into the crock pot so the entire bottom of your crock is covered
  5. Make a deep, long and wide indention in your meatloaf
  6. Pour around 1 cup of your cheese into this indention and fold the meatloaf back in toward the middle until the cheese is covered
  7. Flatten out your meatloaf once your cheese is hidden inside
  8. Sprinkle remaining cheese and bacon on top, followed by as much BBQ sauce as you like
  9. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours

Crock Pot BBQ Bacon Cheddar Meatloaf Notes

  • If you don’t like bacon as much as we do, then you can definitely cut back on the bacon. It is totally up to you. I just wanted to make a completely loaded version for us. Adapt this however you like!
  • As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

    this sounds delish. I have one question, what are the Nutrition number? Specially carb & fiber & calorie counts in grams? I would be using a sugar free bar-b-que sauce. I eat strictly low carb or keto to control my diabetes.

      Our nutrition automation is only a rough estimate, and you should always calculate your specific ingredients for accuracy for your nutritional needs.

    Hi Aunt Lou
    I gotta try this one, but I have a couple questions.
    What can I use instead of the Ranch Dip Mix. I’ve looked for dip mixes before and can’t find them here?
    What kind of oats can I use, quick oats, steel cut oats??

      Hi Jim!

      I haven’t tried this without the ranch dip mix or with a substitution. You might be able to make it without. If you want, you can buy them on amazon here (referral link): https://amzn.to/2UEq5rc. For the oats, I used old fashioned oats. Enjoy!

    I am planning to take this to the fellowship dinner tomorrow, but my slow cooker (Cuisinart) is too heavy….can I make this in the oven in a disposable aluminum loaf pan?
    Sounds delicious!
    Thanks!

      Hi Nancy!

      I haven’t tried it, but I think it would cook up in the oven well. I would just use the same oven temp and time as your favorite oven meatloaf recipe. As always, check it with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches the proper cooking temp. Enjoy!
