- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and half of the cooked bacon. Mix well to combine.
3. In a separate small bowl, mix together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to make the secret sauce.
4. Divide the meatloaf mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a loaf. Place the loaves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. While the meatloaf is baking, butter one side of each slice of bread.
7. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the bread slices butter side down. Top each slice with some of the remaining bacon and a slice of each of the three cheeses.
8. Once the meatloaf is cooked, slice each loaf into thick slices.
9. Place a slice of meatloaf on top of the cheese-covered bread slices and top with another slice of bread, butter side up.
10. Grill the sandwiches in the skillet until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
