Bacon And Double Cheeseburger Loaf

When you look at it closely, drunkenness is a lordship problem. Who is your master, God or your desires? Do you desire God above all else, or do you desire something in creation more than you desire the Creator? At root, drunkards are worshipping another god – alcohol. Drunkenness violates the command “You shall have no other gods before me.” Heavy drinkers love alcohol. They are controlled by it as if they were its subjects and it was their ruler-lover. This alcohol-worship, however, is actually a form of self-worship. We worship people and things to get what we want. Those who worship money do so in order to get what they want. Heavy drinkers drink neither to glorify God nor to love their neighbor. They drink to indulge their own desires, whether those desires are pleasure, freedom from pain, alleviation of fear, forgetting, vengeance, or a host of others.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon
over medium heat until it is limp and some of the fat is rendered, 3
to 4 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and reserve.  In a
large mixing bowl, use your hands to gently but thoroughly mix
together the meat, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of the cheese, onion,
mayonnaise, relish, mustard, salt, pepper, and egg. Pat the mixture
into a shallow 2 quart baking pan. Spread the top of the loaf with
ketchup, then lay the bacon strips over the ketchup. Bake until the
loaf is firm and the bacon is crisp, 45 to 50 minutes, sprinkling the
top of the loaf with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese to melt during the
last 5 to 10 minutes of baking. Internal temperature should be 155
degrees. Let the meatloaf stand in the baking dish for 10 minutes,
then cut into squares to serve. For leftovers, reheat slices in a
microwave and serve on sesame buns with lettuce, tomato and ketchup.
