Recipe of the week - Prize Winning Meatloaf

 I'm not sure what prizes this dish won, but I did enjoy it.  And, it's easy...always a plus.  I had not made a meatloaf in years, not since we got our new oven, so I figured it was time.  However, I could not find my standby meatloaf recipe so I searched for another one.  It just so happened as I was reading another "new to me" cookbook I'd gotten at the used bookstore, I came upon this recipe and decided to give it a try.  We both enjoyed it and I hope you do too!


Ingredients

1.5 lbs ground beef 

3/4 cup uncooked oats

1/4 onion, chopped

1/5 tsps salt

1 Tbsp brown sugar

1/4 tsp pepper

1 cup ketchup

1 egg,beaten

1 Tbsp mustard

Preheat oven to 350.  In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly.  Add milk if mixture is dry or flour if mixture is too moist.  Mold in a loaf an dpack firmly into an ungreased 9X5" loaf pan.  Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes.  Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

I had never used oats in meatloaf before, but I liked it and it's probably a little healthier than bread crumbs, which are traditionally used.  I will say, though, that I could not slice this particularly well.  It kept falling apart.  Nevertheless, it tasted great!  I served it with the Delicious Potatoes that I blogged awhile back and it was a delicious combo!  Enjoy!
