Meatloaf
4 lbs. hamburger 80% lean
2 medium white onions chopped
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
¼ tsp Cajun seasoning
½ cup applesauce
2 raw eggs
1 cup Russ & Frank's BBQ Sauce (plus more for topping) **

Mix above ingredients in a large bowl by hand. Press mixture into 2 or 3 loaf pans. Top each pan with a layer of Russ & Frank's BBQ Sauce and make a criss-cross pattern slightly into the meat with the top of a spatula.

Bake loaf pan at 375 degrees for one hour on a cookie sheet. Cover pan with foil the first 45 minutes and remove the last 15 minutes to brown the BBQ topping. During cooking periodically pour off the grease.

Cut thick slices right in the pan and lift out to serve. Refrigerated meat can be cut into slices for great sandwiches. Loaf pan can be sealed with foil and frozen; thaw overnight in refrigerator and cook as above
