Classic Meatloaf

Ingredients
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey
3/4 cup Quaker® Oats(quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup catsup
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients in large bowl; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape meatloaf mixture into 10x6-inch loaf on rack of broiler pan.
2. 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. Cover and refrigerate leftovers promptly and use within 2 days, or wrap airtight and freeze up to 3 months.
Servings: 6 TO 8

* Sometimes I cook the meatloaf in a cupcake pan which makes little personal meatloafs and only takes about 25 min to cook.
* Also, to make the best meatloaf sauce, just mix ketchup with brown sugar and warm it up a little, if you put it on the meatloaf about 5 min before taking it out of the oven it makes a nice glaze!

I made this tonight but with a few variations: I used dried onion & garlic instead of fresh. We didn't have any Worcestershire sauce, so I used 2 tablespoons of "KC Masterpiece Marinade - Spiced Carribean Jerk" it was so tastey!!! Served with mashed potatoes and a salad made a wonderful dinner!
