Good Cooks’ Recipes

This meatloaf is from a 1968 cookbook, Blue Ribbon Recipes and it sure lives up to the book title. There’s nothing fancy about it, just a good – real good – basic meatloaf.

Meat Loaf

1-1/2 lb. ground beef (I use ground chuck)
3/4 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup chopped onion
1-1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup catsup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard

Combine first 7 ingredients for meat loaf; mix thoroughly. Pack into a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Mix remaining ingredients for sauce. Pour over the meat loaf. Bake about 1 hour at 350 degrees. Let stand before slicing.
