| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). |
| 2. | In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, egg, finely chopped onion, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. |
| 3. | Shape the mixture into a loaf, ensuring it holds together well but isn’t too compacted. |

| 6. | Once done, remove the Cheddarburger Loaf from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring maximum flavor and juiciness. |
| 7. | Serve slices of the Cheddarburger Loaf alongside your favorite sides or enjoy it solo for a hearty and satisfying meal. |
