Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then crumble.

3. Mix ketchup and mustard together in a bowl.

4. In a large bowl, combine ¼ of the ketchup mixture, ground beef, cheddar cheese, eggs, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and crumbled bacon.

5. Press the mixture into a 5x9-inch loaf pan.

6. Spread the remaining ketchup mixture evenly on top.

7. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and no longer pink inside.

8. During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle French-fried onions on top.

9. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
