Black & Blue Meatloaf

This is a favorite at our house. It has the just the right hint blue cheese, which gives it a great flavor. Try it, I'm sure that you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Ingredients:

• 2lbs lean ground beef
• 1 medium onion (chopped)
• 1 medium bell pepper (chopped)
• 1 cup of plain bread crumbs
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• 3/4 cup of Budweiser Original Barbeque Sauce
• 1/4 cup of blue cheese crumbles
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp fresh gound black pepper
• 1Tbs Emeril's Original Essence

Place all of the above ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix together with your hands. Once all of the ingredients have been well mixed together, place in a loaf pan and form the meat mixture into a loaf shape. Pour additional barbeque sauce along the top of the loaf. Place into a 425 degree oven for approximately 1 hour. About ten (10) minutes before it is done, sprinkle additonal blue cheese crumbles along the top of the meatloaf and finish baking. Once the meatloaf is done, remove from the loaf pan and cut slices approximately 1/2 thick, and serve.

This goes great with some garlic mashed potatoes. Prepare this and you will be an instant hit. My daughter does not like meatloaf, but when she tried this one, she loved it. I'm sure you will too.
