Simple Meat Loaf

2 pds ground beef

1 can tomato paste

1 onion chopped

1-1 1/2 cups oatmeal

2 eggs

salt and pepper



My husband is a picky eater, and he loves this!





Mix the ground beef, egg, onion, oatmeal, tomato paste, salt and pepper together in a big bowl. If you do not have enough Oatmeal in it to dry it up , add a little more, as thats the key to a perfect meatloaf, have enough bread in it to draw up the oil out of it, and allow it to stick together.



Once the meatloaf is nearly done, pull out and put your ketchup on top and put back in for another 20-30 minutes. I bake this in a 300 degree oven for a couple hours, or until the meat is cooked. I decided its better to be cooking for a couple hours, and have a delicious meal, than to cook for 20 minutes, and throw it out, so I cook things slow to get a better flavor.
