Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

02

Step
15 mins

In a large bowl, gently mix together ground beef, oats, tomato sauce, eggs, dried onion, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough meatloaf. Press the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

03

Step
1 hrs

Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 1 hour.

04

Step
10 mins

Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meatloaf.

05

Step
5 mins

Spread ketchup over the top and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the ketchup is slightly caramelized. Serve warm with additional ketchup, if desired.

For added flavor, consider browning the ground beef before mixing it with the other ingredients. Drain off any excess fat before proceeding.
Feel free to add other seasonings to customize the flavor. Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, or a dash of hot sauce can add depth and complexity.
To prevent sticking, grease the loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper before adding the meatloaf mixture.
Leftover meatloaf makes great sandwiches! Slice it thinly and serve on your favorite bread with lettuce, tomato, and your choice of condiments.

    I substituted the oats with breadcrumbs since I didn't have any oats on hand, and it still came out great!
