Jessicas Meatloaf With Oatmeal Recipes

JESSICA'S MEATLOAF WITH OATMEAL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix sauce ingredients, set aside until meatloaf is halfway cooked.
• Beat eggs; stir in milk, oats, sage, salt, onion and optional celery. Mix into ground beef. NOTE: Traditional meatloaf has double the salt; we like this recipe as is, but you may season to your own tastes by increasing salt or adding pepper.
• Place in 9" X 9" pan, leaving 1/2" empty border (makes it easy to remove any grease later).
• Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Cover with sauce and bake an additional 30 minutes (still uncovered) at 350 degrees.
• Immediately remove any grease standing in the border.

MEATLOAF (TRADITIONAL RECIPE WITH OATMEAL)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 loaf pan or line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, quick oats, diced onion, eggs, meatloaf seasoning, and ketchup. Mix until just combined, do not over-mix.
• Transfer the meatloaf mixture into your prepared loaf pan then shape so that the loaf is mounded at the top. Or transfer the loaf mixture to your baking sheet and form it into a loaf approximately the same size as a loaf pan (9x5-inch).
• Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 minutes, remove from the oven and coat with an additional 1/3 cup of ketchup or BBQ sauce if desired. Return to the oven and finish cooking for an additional 10-20 minutes. Your meatloaf is done when it has an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
• Remove from the oven when done, drain off the excess grease, and then allow your meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
