Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound ground beef, 80/20
1 tablespoon Montreal Steak Seasoning
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/4 cup minced onions
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats (regular or gluten free oats)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoon ketchup
1 15-ounce can tomato soup, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F, rack in the middle. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray. In a large bowl add the oats and milk and gently mix. Set aside for 15 minutes to allow the oats to soak in the milk.
  • After 15 minutes strain out the milk into a separate container but do not discard. *If there is no milk left, it's OK. Some brands of oats suck up all the milk while others do not.
  • In the bowl the oats are in, add the ground beef, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning, garlic, onions, ketchup, and 3 tablespoon of tomato soup.
  • Just combine but try not to overwork it as it will get tough. If the mixture is too wet, add in 1-2 more tablespoon of oats (don't worry if they aren't soaked). If too dry, add in the milk 1-2 tablespoon at a time. If you have no milk left as your oats sucked it all up just add more milk or water. You want the mixture to be pretty moist but firm enough to hold a shape.
  • In the bowl gently press together.
  • Transfer the mixture to the baking sheet and using your hands, form a loaf that is about 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and about 2 1/2 inches tall. The loaf should be smooth and have rounded edges. This will help the loaf stay together when serving.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, remove from the oven, and spread the remaining tomato soup on top of the meatloaf.
  • Continue baking for another 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

GRANDMA'S FAMOUS MEATLOAF WITH SALTINES



Grandma's Famous Meatloaf with Saltines image

This is the recipe my grandmother used to make her meatloaf. Most notably it doesn't have any sort of sauce coating the top as is called for in many meatloaf recipes. My family enjoys it this way but I'm relatively certain that any standard meatloaf sauce would do if you want one.

Categories     Meatloaf

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 meatloaf, 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground beef
2 eggs
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
1 onion, chopped (Optional, I usually omit it or use a teaspoon of dried minced onion. You also don't need the whole o)
2 -3 tablespoons ketchup, heaping
1 tablespoon yellow mustard, heaping
1 cup saltine crumbs, crushed. (This is usually most of one sleeve of saltines.)

Steps:

  • Mix all together; I generally use my hands.
  • Form mixture into a loaf shape.
  • Put in a baking dish (I use a pie plate).
  • Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
  • NOTE: I always put a little water in my pan. I've never done it any other way, so I don't know what would result if you don't.

GRANDMA'S MEATLOAF WITH OATS



Grandma's Meatloaf with Oats image

Grandma's meatloaf recipe was the best I have ever tried to make. My previous attempts to create a healthy, yet good tasting meatloaf recipe failed repeatedly because each attempt resulted in a dry loaf. Not so with Grandma's recipe! I added more seasonings and scaled her recipe up a bit so 2 full pounds of beef can be used and a whole can of tomato sauce (instead of a partial can). Plus beef is usually sold in 1-pound packages, so assembly time is reduced.

EASY OLD FASHIONED MEATLOAF



Easy Old Fashioned Meatloaf image

No fancy ingredients here... Not like we need another meatloaf recipe, but I figured I'd should post my Grandma's for people like me who like a quick easy meatloaf without a lot of fuss. Most of the meatloaves I saw here had things I'd never even consider putting in a meatloaf! :) At times I will substitute the onion with approx. 1/4 cup dried onion flakes. I also have substituted the garlic with garlic powder. I've never tried making it with horseradish. (I was a notoriously picky eater as a kid so I don't think Grandma put it in when I came to visit either.) I usually don't bother beating the egg... (Boy do I sound lazy! Don't tell Mom! LOL!) I've only recently started putting ketchup on the top before baking, so I don't think it's necessary to keep the meatloaf moist. Mom used to use her own dried bread crumbs, but I use the plain storebought kind. I haven't been adventurous enough to try any flavored bread crumbs... Make sure lean ground beef is used otherwise the meatloaf can get too greasy and/or bubble over the pan while baking. I also recommend checking the center to make sure it's done. On occasion it has taken over an hour to bake.
