This is a fun and easy dinner to serve, especially if you have guests over. Everyone can dress their own meatloaf just how they like so it works for even the pickiest eaters.
You can cook the meatloaf in the crock pot and when it’s time to serve it up set out the condiments for everyone to dress their own “burger”. It makes a basic meal into something fun and everyone will love it!
One reason I wanted to try making a cheese burger meatloaf is because I always eat my burgers without a bun now. The extra calories in the bun are just not worth it for me. Almost every time I plan burgers now I forget to grab buns for my husband at the store. Now I can make “cheese burgers” and buns are not a problem.
You can also make this meal with lots of different extras. Think about grilling up some onions or mushrooms, slice up and avocado, or put some chopped bacon on the side. Your family and guests can make up their “burger” any way they want!
