1 1/4 lbs. of 80/20 ground beef
1 small yellow onion (chopped)
sea salt and fresh cracked pepper
2 shakes of lite soy sauce
3-4 T. of BBQ sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's)
1 T. of steak sauce (I used A.1.)
1 egg (beaten)
1/2 a cup of plain bread crumbs
3 slices of American cheese
-Preheat your oven to 350*. In a large mixing bowl, using your hands, knead to thoroughly combine all of the ingredients EXCEPT for the cheese slices. Once it is good and mixed, place it into a loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf, keeping it away from the edges (this way the grease can separate from it and be easily poured out). Go ahead and do a big healthy smear of some extra BBQ sauce all across the top and down the sides. Bake on the center rack of your oven at 350* for 1 hour. Carefully remove it from the oven, using a spatula to hold the loaf in, pour out the grease (I save old pickle/ jam jars just for this stuff). Once the grease has been discarded, using your spatula again, lift the loaf up and then flip it onto it's side while still in the loaf pan. With a serrated knife, cut the loaf in half lengthwise (so you are cutting off the top). Then use your spatula again to lift up the top half, wiggle your loaf pan around to let the bottom half fall back in place, layer the cheese slices over it and then replace the top half back on top (basically you are making a stuffed meatloaf here). Place it back into the oven for about 3-5 more minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Serves 4. Enjoy!
