Savory Meat Loaf

This recipe is from the Taste of Home website.

Ingrediants:

1 egg
1 cup fat free milk
3/4 cup quick cooking oats
2 slices bread, crumbled
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound lean ground beef
3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingrediants. Crumble beef over the mixture and mix well. Shape into a loaf; place in an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in baking dish.

In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, water, brown sugar, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce; pour over meat loaf. Bake at 325○ for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160○. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Yield 6 servings.

This is one of our favorite recipes. We make it at least once a month and have made it for most of our family. My grandfather loves meat loaf so we invite him over whenever we make this dish. He loves it.

On a scale of 1 - 5 my husband and both rate this a 4. We usually have some kind of vegetable with it, and potatoes or risotto.

This is an excellent leftover dish too, I usually make a meat loaf sandwich for lunch the following day.
