  • 2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground black pepper, divided

  • aluminum foil
  • 3 tablespoons barbeque sauce, or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons grated Cheddar cheese, or to taste

  • Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until evenly mixed. Firmly press 3/4 of the mixture into a loaf pan, creating a well in the center.

  • Broil the meatloaf until the barbecue sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
