Creating the perfect Cheeseburger Meatloaf is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, ketchup, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Shape the Loaf: Mix well until combined, then transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Shape it into a loaf.
4. Add Cheese: If you like, press slices of cheese into the center of the loaf to create a cheesy surprise.
5. Top with Ketchup: Spread additional ketchup on top of the meatloaf for an added flavor.
6. Bake: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 160°F (71°C).
7. Let it Rest: Once done, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain moisture.
8. Garnish: If using, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for a decorative touch.

Following these steps ensures you create an incredible cheeseburger experience like no other!
