Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, chipotle powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, barbecue sauce, and fresh parsley until evenly distributed.
  4. On a sheet of parchment paper or a lightly greased surface, form the meat mixture into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. In the center of the meat rectangle, sprinkle an additional layer of shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
  6. Carefully roll the meatloaf from one end to the other, encasing the cheese and bacon filling inside. Pinch the ends to seal the meatloaf.
  7. Place the rolled meatloaf seam-side down in a baking dish or on a lined baking sheet.
  8. Spread the remaining barbecue sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
  9. Sprinkle the top with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
  11. Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  12. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

For a spicier meatloaf, add more chipotle powder or serve with additional pepper sauce.
