Outstanding Meatloaf

This is a recipe I found on another recipe site that I've modified to suit my family's tastes. Yumma!!

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef (I like chuck)
• 1⁄2 cup  crushed round  buttery cracker (or you can use bread crumbs, oatmeal, saltines(any starch you want)
• 3⁄4 cup  shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 (1 1/4ounce) package  dry onion soup mix
• 1⁄4 cup ketchup
• 2  tablespoons  A.1. Original Sauce
• 1  tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1  egg
• 2  slices  bread

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except bread slices together thoroughly.
3. Line bottom of loaf pan with the sliced bread. (This will help absorb most of the grease that cooks out of the beef.)
4. Press meatloaf mixture firmly in the loaf pan and bake for 45 - 60 minutes until done.
