INGREDIENTS
MEATLOAF
- 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs $0.06
- 1 tsp smoked paprika $0.10
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder $0.05
- 3/4 tsp salt $0.03
- 1 large egg $0.27
- 1/2 cup minced onion $0.16
- 4 oz. sharp cheddar $0.85
- 1 lb. ground beef (85/15) $5.29

- 1/2 cup ketchup $0.41
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar $0.04

INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a small bowl stir together the breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. In a separate small bowl, lightly whisk the egg.
- Finely mince the onion. Roughly chop the cheddar cheese so that it is in pieces about the same size as a small bean.
- Add the ground beef, seasoned breadcrumbs, whisked egg, minced onion, and chopped cheddar to a bowl. Use your hands to mix the ingredients together until incorporated.
- Place the meat mixture in a casserole dish or on a rimmed baking sheet and shape into a rectangle, approximately 7" long, 4" wide, and 1.5" thick.
- To make the glaze, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Spread the glaze over the unbaked meatloaf.
- Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160ºF. Remove the meatloaf from the oven, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then slice into eight pieces and serve.
