MEATBALLS
USE THIS RECIPE FOR MEATBALLS TOO! WHEN MAKING MEATBALLS SUBSTITUTE PLAIN BREAD CRUMBS INSTEAD OF ROLLED OATS.

Steps:

1. In a large bowl mix all the meatloaf ingredients. Take off the jewelry and get your hands into it
2. Spray an oblong shallow pan with non stick cooking spray, shape the mixture into a loaf and center in pan leaving plenty of room all around. Do not use a loaf pan
3. Mix sauce in a cup or small bowl and pour over meatloaf
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. When you smell it... check it. Meatloaf is done when you can see the hot sizzle of the sauce creating a dark circle. Don't let it turn black.
5. To make meatballs instead of meatloaf, substitute plain bread crumbs for rolled oats. Do not make any topping. Roll mixture into small balls and place on a baking sheet Bake at 350 for 15 minutes Remove from oven and drain off grease. Place meatballs a large pan of your favorite sauce
