BBQ Cheddar Meatloaves w/Parmesan Broccoli

Instructions

1. 1

   Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced or chopped sweet onion with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, until soft and deep golden brown. Set aside to cool (this can be done up to a couple of days ahead).

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons of the BBQ sauce, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, cheddar cubes, and the cooled caramelized onions. Mix with your hands just until combined — don't overwork it.

3. 3

   Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into mini loaves. Place on a foil-lined, nonstick-sprayed baking sheet, then spread 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce over each loaf.

4. 4

   Bake for 20 minutes, until no longer pink in the center, then serve.
