Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Saute onion, peppers, and garlic in the butter till onions are soft then allow to cool a little before adding to the meat mixture.
Soak 2 slices of bread in the milk.
Mix together the ground chuck, salt, pepper, grated cheese, the soaked bread and milk, the cooled onion and pepper mixture and about 1/3 to 1/2 cup chili sauce, egg.
Form into a load shape and lay strips of bacon over the top to help the meatloaf maintain it’s shape while cooking.
Then top the bacon covered meatloaf with about 2/3 cup of chili sauce.
