Mom's Meatloaf
Mom had a rotation of meals while I was growing up. She had the same work schedule every week and had a rotation of meals minus the one night my dad cooked. I liked many of them but one I wanted to recreate was her meatloaf. This was one of my favorites of her meals and it was actually made pretty rare compared to the other meals in the rotation.
Ingredients
1/4 cupish Quaker oats
1 pound beef
1 egg
2 tsp minced garlic or garlic powder to taste
1/4 onion
1/4 red or green pepper
1/4 cup milk
Prep
Preheat oven to 375 F
Chop the onions and peppers
Mix the literally everything together in a bowl
Line a glass pan of at least 8 x 8 with aluminum foil
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf in the pan
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until no longer red
Afterthoughts
This dish has been among my favorites throughout childhood and has evolved many times. Adding the veggies, changing the ratios and more. I still love meatloaf the way mom makes it and this super easy to make dish is great for any dinnertime.
