This is so easy and good! I am a sucker for meatloaf recipes, sometimes I am pleased, but so often, I go back to the basics. I hope you enjoy this as much as my family does. Makes excellent cold or hot sandwiches the next day!
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled
1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/8 teaspoon paprika
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, mix ground beef with onions and celery. Peel carrot into short strips, chop and add to meat. Set aside.
3. In a small mixing bowl, lightly beat eggs, then add milk, ketchup and spices and blend. Combine wet mixture with meat and mix together.
4. Sprinkle oatmeal over meat mixture and gently mix all together until oatmeal is well combined.
5. Shape into loaf shape and place in metal loaf pan; drizzle top of loaf with ketchup (I place my ketchup in a small squirt-top dispenser for convenience). Bake for approximately 1 hr 15 minutes.
6. Remove from oven, let stand about 15 minutes. Slice and serve.
