Cheese Stuffed Meatloaf (low carb)

 

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 lb mild sausage

1. Preheat over to 375. 
2. Combine first 5 ingredients and split in half. 
3. Form half the meat mixture in the bottom of a meatloaf pan. 
4. Layer in 3 cheese slices leaving a small gap between the cheese and the pan. 
5. Layer another 3 slices the same way. 
6. Form the other half of the meat mixture on top. 
7. Bake for 40 minutes. 
8. Top with BBQ sauce and spread it evenly over the meatloaf and bake an additional 5 minutes. 
9. Let cool for 10 minutes and serve.

I have done this with cream cheese in the middle instead of sliced cheese and it is SOOO good!
