\n1 pound lean ground beef (I used 90\/10)
\n3\/4 cup uncooked regular oats (I used organic steel cut oats but I can’t imagine it actually matters other than overpaying)
\n1\/2 cup milk (I used non-fat as that’s what I had in the house)
\n2 tablespoons minced onion (I used dried as I don’t like onion much or to dice it)
\n1 large egg
\n1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
\n1\/2 teaspoon kosher salt
\n1\/4 teaspoon dry mustard
\n1\/4 teaspoon garlic salt
\n1\/4 teaspoon pepper
\n1 (12-ounce) bottle chili sauce ( used the Heinz Chili Sauce as original recipe mentioned it and all others at store seemed way too hot for me)
\n3 cheese slices, cut into 1-inch strips (I used American cheese since it’s the meltiest…although not entirely sure of it’s authentic cheeseness ;))<\/p>\n
Preparation<\/strong> Place in a 9x5inch loafpan.<\/p>\n Bake at 350\u00b0 for 40 to 45 minutes. Pour chili sauce over meat loaf, and bake 20 to 25 more minutes or until meat is no longer pink in center.<\/p>\n Arrange cheese slices in a crisscross pattern on top of meat loaf (I turned off the oven but left it in there to melt the choose some.) Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.<\/p>\n This turned out really tasty! I haven’t had meat loaf in a really, really long time but I am now a fan of this one. I had it alone, but can imagine it would be even yummier with mashed potatoes and gravy :) Mmmmmmmm. Actually I paired with a nice glass of red wine which made it almost fancy ;)<\/p>\n A good, simple winter recipe! Plus leftovers!<\/p>\n
\nStir together first 10 ingredients in a large bowl until combined. Make sure you mix it really well (I used my hands after multiple washings before and after!) <\/p>\n
