mom's recipe sort of.... Anyway, I use a very simple recipe. 1 pound of hamburger, about a 1/4 of a large onion diced fairly small, 1 egg, 1/3 of a cup oatmeal, a splash of milk, salt and pepper. Place in loaf pan, squirt some ketchup on top. Bake at 350 for about 1 hr and 15 minutes. I often toss in a sweet potatoe or squash just quartered and wrapped in foil. I will microwave some frozen veggies. This is a pretty no fuss supper. The leftover meat loaf makes a good sandwich the next day or so. I sometimes have added chopped bell peppers.
you may need to adjust baking time depending on your oven and pan used. I used one of those narrow loaf pans.
