The Best Meat Loaf Ever



A meat loaf recipe used to be on the back of the Quaker Oats box. I've made a couple of changes, and my kids ask for it all the time. Double the recipe so you'll have plenty left over for sandwiches.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
3/4 cup oatmeal (quick or regular)
1 egg
1 cup crushed tomatoes (use salsa for Mexican loaf)
1 small onion, very finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, crushed or chopped finely
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Sliced bacon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Mix everything together but the bacon. Place in pan, lay bacon strips on top.

I always double this recipe, and I bake it in a 9 x 13 glass pan. Bake for about an hour. If the bacon isn't cooked at an hour just turn the broiler on for a minute. If you don't like bacon, top with a very, very thin layer of ketchup. The sugar in it will caramelize while it's cooking and give you a nice top. I always make mashed potatoes with this.


I finally figured out I could mix this in my Kitchen Aid. It only takes a minute this way, and you have to be careful not to overmix it.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Serves about 6
