Recipe(tried): Meatloaf Using Oatmeal

MEATLOAF USING OATMEAL

FOR THE MEATLOAF:
1 pound lean ground beef (or combination of beef and pork)
1 1/4 tsp salt (I use Tony Chachere's seasoning salt!)
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion (I use 1/2 - 1 onion depending on size!)
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (usually 1 whole bell pepper-- seeds and membrane removed!)
1 egg, lightly beaten
8 oz canned diced tomatoes, with juice
1/2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal.
FOR THE TOPPING:
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp prepared mustard

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Mix all meat loaf ingreients well and place in a baking dish. (I use a meat loaf pan with holes in the top pan to drain off the meat fat) which fits over another pan. This pan is non-stick--so I turn the oven to 350 degrees to keep from ruining my pan.

Mix ingredients for topping together and spread on loaf.

Bake for 1 hour.
