Our Favorite Meatloaf

• servings: 6
• active time: 15
• total time: 70 minutes

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey

• 3/4 cup Quaker® Oats

• 3/4 cup finely chopped onion

• 1/2 cup catsup

• 1 egg, lightly beaten

• 1 tablespoon

Worcestershire sauce

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients in large bowl; mix lightly but thoroughly. Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until meatloaf is to medium doneness (160°F for beef, 170°F for turkey), until not pink in center and juices show no pink color.

Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. As good as the meatloaf is, it would not be complete without the sauce. Mom formed the mixture into a loaf and placed it in the middle of a roast pan to cook. Twenty minutes before it was done, the grease/liquid was drained off. She then covered the meatloaf with 1/2 cup of grated onion, followed by 1 cup of (Heinz) ketchup mixed with 4 tbsp of brown sugar, 4 tbsp vinegar, 2 tbsp Worchestershire Sauce; heated mixed ingredients but did not boil. I always make a double batch to spoon over each piece. Cover and refrigerate leftovers promptly and use within 2 days, or wrap airtight and freeze up to 3 months.
