By peridot728

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 3/4 cup quick oatmeal
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup onion, finely diced (or grate it if your kids will freak out if they see a piece of onion)
• 1 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp mustard

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine ground beef, oatmeal, milk, egg, onion, salt and pepper in a medium sized mixing bowl. Using your hand, incorporate everything into the meat. This only takes 30 seconds or so, you do not want to over mix.

Transfer meat into a large loaf pan and press it down evenly into the pan.

Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard in a small bowl. Pour over meatloaf.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes

Remove from oven and drain off excess grease. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
