Mom's Meat Loaf



If you're craving comfort food, here's a healthier option! This is a recipe from my childhood -- the meat loaf my mom used to make growing up. It was a favorite of one of my cousins who ate dinner with us a few nights a week when I was a teenager. It's very kid-friendly in flavor, and simple to put together. The serving sizes are quite generous too.

Mom's Meat Loaf
1 1/2 lbs 93% lean ground beef
1 envelope dry onion soup mix (such as Lipton Recipe Secrets)
1 egg
1/3 cup skim milk
2/3 cup ketchup, divided
3/4 cup old fashioned oats (dry)

In a small bowl, combine milk and 1/3 cup of ketchup. In a large bowl, mix together beef, soup mix, egg, and ketchup mixture until combined. Mix in oats. Shape into a 2" high rectangular loaf in a 7x9" casserole dish. Spread remaining ketchup over top. Bake for 1 hour at 350. Makes 6 generous servings.
