1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef 
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs 
1 large egg 
1 cup milk 
1/4 cup chopped onion 
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
1 teaspoon salt 
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled 
2 cups mashed potatoes 
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). 
In a bowl, mix together ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, milk, onion, salt, dry mustard, pepper, sage, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Spoon into an ungreased standard 9-inch loaf pan. 

Bake uncovered for 60 to 75 minutes, or until a meat thermometer into the center reads 150°F (65°C); remove from heat and drain. 

Combine blue cheese and mashed potatoes and spread on top. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
