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
