I begin sharing the recipe right around the 5 minute mark.
To begin, sauté butter and onion together until the onions are tender and golden.
While the onion is sautéing, de-seed and finely mince the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. I recommend wearing gloves when handling the peppers, especially if you wear contacts like I do.
Set them aside for now.
In a mixing bowl, combine fresh bread that is torn into small bits and milk.
Add ground beef, but pull it apart into little bits. This makes mixing the ingredients easier and prevents overworking the meat mixture. Over working leads to tough, dry meatloaves or meatballs, when making those.

Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, minced chipotle peppers, beaten egg, and the sautéed onions.
Gently toss the ingredients until they are just combined.
Press the meat mixture into a loaf pan.
Bake at 350°(F) until the meat thermometer reads 160.°
Top with the shredded cheese and let it melt for the last 10 minutes or so of baking.
Let the meatloaf rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Enjoy!
