1.   Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

4.   Place the wrapped loaf on a large high sided cookie sheet.
5.   Paint the ketchup over the top of the loaf and sprinkle the basil over the top.
6.   Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the center temp reaches 170 degrees.
7.   Let stand on counter 1-20 minutes prior to slicing
8.   While the meat is resting steam the beans till desired tenderness and drain well in a colander.
9.   Place the saucepot back onto the stove on low heat and melt the butter.
10.   Place the drained beans into the melted butter along with the cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well, remove from heat and plate.

  TIP- Cold meatloaf sandwiches with mayo are 1 of my favs.  Wrap the meat in a large romaine lettuce leaf for a great lunch.

Sign me up for that 12-step program too Umpa. hmmmmm  Then again, I haven't hit rock bottom yet with my addiction, so the likelihood of me sticking to the program is probably aero; oh well, I will just have to live with it.  It will be a burden I know, but one I am sure I can shoulder.  ;)
