In a large bowl, combine beef, breadcrumbs, onion, salt, pepper and evaporated milk. Stir or mix by hand until thoroughly blended. Shape mixture into 6 loaves.

Freezing and Cooking Directions:
To Freeze: Put barbeque sauce in a 1 quart freezer bag. Seal, label and freeze. Place raw loaves in a lightly greased 11” x 7” x 1 1/2” baking dish, or freeze in a gallon freezer bag. Seal, label and freeze.
To Serve: Thaw loaves and barbeque sauce. If they aren’t already, put loaves on a lightly greased baking dish with sides. Spoon barbeque sauce over loaves. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Serve immediately.

Comments:
This is one of my family’s favorite meals! It’s great served with mashed potatoes.
