• 2 large eggs, beaten

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion, eggs, salt, and pepper.

3. First Layer: Press half of the meat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even layer.

4. Add Filling: Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheese and crumbled bacon over the meat layer.

5. Complete Assembly: Top with the remaining meat mixture, sealing the edges to keep the cheese from leaking.
