Momma s Mmm-Mmm-Magnificent Meatloaf

1 pound ground beef

1 (12 ounce) package bulk pork breakfast sausage

6 fresh mushrooms, chopped

1 red onion, chopped

2 tablespoons barbecue sauce

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 egg

½ cup instant oatmeal

1 teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

4 strips bacon

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Mix the ground beef, sausage, mushrooms, onion, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, egg, oatmeal, garlic powder, pepper, and Cheddar cheese together in a large bowl until evenly mixed. Form into a loaf and place in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Lie the bacon strips across the top of the meatloaf.

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
