Answer 11

Quick oatmeal (not instant) works and tastes the best, not to mention it's healthier for you. It seems to disappear in the meat but really hold it together better. My grandmother always used it. This is one of my favorite recipes from her collection. Best meatloaf you will ever have.

Moms Sweet & Sour Meatloaf

Sauce:

2 small cans tomato sauce

1/4 cup worchestershire sauce

1/2 onion chopped

1 tablespoon dried parsley

1/2 cup brown sugar

Mix all sauce ingredients together in bowl, set aside.

Ingredients (Meatloaf):

2 pounds ground beef

1/2 chopped onion

1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup or more if needed, quick oatmeal (not instant)

1 teaspoon garlic salt

In another bowl add ground beef, 1/2 chopped onion, egg, oatmeal, garlic salt, pepper, and 1/3 of the sauce mixture. Mix together well.

Place in pan, making space between meat and pan around edges with fingers. Flatten top, spread more sauce over top and cook 1 hour, at 350F. Drain off grease half way (30 min) and add more sauce. Reserve some sauce for adding when served. The oatmeal disappears, is healthy and you can't taste it. It just holds it together better. Add more if you need it.
