The key to any great meatloaf is to always start with a high quality ground beef. Heartland Beef Farm's 85/15 ground beef is perfect for this recipe and ensures your meatloaf will have the best flavor and texture.

- 1 lb Heartland Ground Beef
- 1/2 Sweet Onion
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- salt/pepper
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Italian Bread Crumbs
- 1 Egg
Ingredients for Topping:
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar

Finely chop Onion and saute with butter in a skillet until lightly browned.

Mix together with your hands until all ingredients are combined, be careful not to overly smash or mush together. Turn out and form into a loaf. Place on a rack above the pan so any grease drips while baking.
In a small bowl combine ketchup, mustard and brown sugar, mix well and pour over the top of the meatloaf.
Preheat oven and bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes. Check for done-ness with a meat thermometer.
