Birthday Dinner Meatloaf

• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 -2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (to your liking)
• 1/4 cup chopped onion (I have never made it with onion)
• 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup barbecue sauce (any will do, you can omit this, but I find it adds a special flavor)
• 1 lb ground beef
• 2/3 cup ketchup (sauce ingredients)
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (sauce ingredients)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard (sauce ingredients)
• cooked rice, to spoon meat loaf over

1. In a bowl, beat the eggs and milk.
2. Stir in the cheese, onion, oats and salt.
3. Add the meat and BBQ sauce and mix WELL with your hands.
4. Shape into 6 equal size loaves (they will be round) and place in a greased (with PAM) 8 X 8 inch pan or glass dish.
5. Sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients and stir well.
6. Spoon sauce over each loaf so it is well covered. Leave a little sauce for putting over the rice.
7. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
8. Serve over rice -- ENJOY!
9. **I always double the sauce ingredients so I can have extra to pour over the rice after it is cooked.
