Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until just barely cooked but not yet crispy — it will finish in the oven. Drain and cool slightly. Soak breadcrumbs in milk for 5 minutes to form a panade.
2
In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, cooked bacon, cheddar cheese, panade, eggs, grated onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, ½ cup BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper using your hands — mix just until combined without overworking.
3
Shape into a 10×4-inch loaf on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Spread remaining ¼ cup BBQ sauce over the top. Bake at 350°F for 60–70 minutes until an instant-read thermometer reads 160°F and the glaze is sticky and caramelized. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.
