Ingredients

Meatloaf

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 12 ounces evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup mustard
  • 1/3 cup diced onions
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup oatmeal

Topping

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

  • Pre heat oven to 350-degrees.
  • (Optional step) - Place 9-inch by 5-inch loaf pan into the oven, to heat up, while preparing the meatloaf.
  • Grab a large mixing bowl and add the egg and beat it.
  • Next, add the ketchup, evaporated milk, mustard, onions, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce and mix well.
  • Add the oatmeal to the bowl and mix.
  • Finally, add the ground beef to the mixture and mix well with your hands until combined.
  • Take the loaf pan out of the oven, spray with non-stick spray, and carefully press the oatmeal meatloaf mixture into the pan and return to the oven. (The pan will be VERY hot, so make sure you don't burn yourself).
  • Cook for one hour.
  • After one hour, remove the pan from the oven and make a few small slits in the top of the meatloaf with a knife.
  • In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar and spread over the top of the meatloaf. Use a spatula or knife to get the sauce down into some of the crevices you cut.
  • Return to the oven and cook for another 45-minutes.
  • When the meatloaf is done cooking, take it out of the oven and let it rest for 15-minutes before slicing.

Notes

TIP: Be sure to place your meatloaf pan on a cookie sheet covered in tin foil for easy cleanup. The grease can bubble over and you won't have a big mess on your hands if you have the cookie sheet underneath.
If you don't want to preheat the pan, simply spray the cold loaf pan with non-stick spray, add the meatloaf to the pan, and bake as directed above.
