Sunday Meatloaf
This meatloaf has oats and veggies - and a little touch of bacon to boot!
Picture Update: 3/3/13
One of my most favorite meatloaf recipes - a big hit with our friends the Akins too. And again, my 3 yr old, who doesn't eat ANY meat or ANY vegetables, scarfs this down! He loves this recipe of meatloaf!
What you need:
1 cup stewed tomatoes (I use 1 can diced tomatoes, drained)
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1 medium carrot, grated
1 celery rib, diced
1 envelope onion soup mix
2 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
2 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
Ketchup
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. Crumble bacon over mixture and mix well.
Shape into a loaf in a greased 13x9x2-inch baking dish (or whatever is clean :P).
Drizzle with ketchup.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 1 1/2 hours or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.
**I also like green bell peppers and onions in my meatloaf but didn't add them this time.
