Old Fashioned Meatloaf

 

Time for some good old fashioned comfort food . What is more comforting than some food old fashioned meatloaf?

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/4 C. old fashioned rolled oats

 1/4 cup milk 

1 lb. ground beef 

2 large eggs, beaten 

1 pkg. dry onion soup mix 

1 clove garlic, minced 

1 T. worcestershire sauce 

3 T. ketchup

 1/2 tsp. pepper 

DIRECTIONS:

Topping

Mix together 1 cup of ketchup & 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

I mix all of the hamburger mixture with my hand and form two loafs. 

 I rub the topping of Ketchup & brown sugar thinly on the top and sides with a sprinkle of pepper on the tops.

 I place the loafs in a big open greased & lightly floured pan side by side but not touching. 

Bake in a 350 preheated oven UNCOVERED for one hour & 20 minutes. 

 Turn the oven off and leave the baked meatloaf in the oven for 15 minutes before removing and allowing it to sit out for a while before cutting.

Don't Sweat the Technique:

If you place a pan of water in the oven under the meatloafs while cooking it will not split on the top. This is a very simple ole fashion and delicious meatloaf recipe. 

 I don’t usually have much grease accumulate in my pan but if I do I just dip it out. 

ENJOY!
