While a fattier ground beef is more flavorful, it isn&#8217;t necessary here since the eggs, bread crumbs and other ingredients help keep the meat loaf soft, tender and moist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg:<\/strong> A single egg acts as the binding ingredient. It also helps the cheeseburger meat loaf hold its shape and remain tender and soft.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bread crumbs:<\/strong> As the meat loaf cooks, the dry bread crumbs soak up the juices, helping retain moisture and preventing the meat loaf from becoming dry or crumbly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ketchup and mustard:<\/strong> These two condiments infuse this cheeseburger meat loaf recipe with rich tomato flavor and a little zip from the mustard. Any type of mustard you enjoy will work, and use whichever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-ketchup-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-ketchup-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ketchup brand<\/a> you think is best.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dill pickle relish:<\/strong> Just a little dill pickle relish provides some classic burger joint flair in every bite. You could also experiment with finely dicing whole <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/grandma-s-dill-pickles\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/grandma-s-dill-pickles\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dill pickles<\/a> (or dill pickle slices) if you don&#8217;t keep relish stocked in your fridge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion powder:<\/strong> While onion powder simply seasons the cheeseburger meat loaf, you can try adding 1\/4 cup grated onion to the ground beef mixture for extra onion flavor and moisture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese: <\/strong>To achieve that picture-perfect molten cheese center, processed American cheese is the way to go. If you&#8217;d rather use your slices in other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/american-cheese-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/american-cheese-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">American cheese recipes<\/a>, you can swap in any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-melting-cheeses\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-melting-cheeses\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">type of melting cheese<\/a> you enjoy for this meat loaf.
