My grandma used to make this all the time when I was growing up. You can either make it into a loaf or into meatballs...excellent both ways!

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs beef (it works with 1lb too)
1 egg
3/4 cup oatmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
3/4 cup ketchup

Steps:

preheat oven to 350 degrees.
I find it easiest and more to my taste to just toss the onion and green pepper in my little mini food processor(or chopper) because I don't like huge chunks of onion or green pepper.
Mix everything together - except the ketchup.
For the meatballs form into balls should make approximately 12 meatballs.
Put into pan.
Just before baking add the ketchup to the top, making sure to spread it all over.
Bake for about an hour or until done. The ketchup turns a very dark red color, and doesn't look liquidy at all; that's when I usually know it's done.
