1 pan
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef, thawed
- 1 egg
- 1⁄3 cup oatmeal
- 1 cup chopped onion (about one large onion)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon lemon pepper (regular pepper will also work)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt (regular salt will also work, kosher is what we prefer)
- 1⁄4 cup ketchup
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In medium mixing bowl, break beef into small chunks.
- Add egg, oatmeal, onion, spices, and ketchup.
- Mix until well blended (you can mix with your hands, but if you prefer not to use that method, a large mixing spoon or rubber spatula will also work just fine).
- Smooth mixture into regular sized bread pan.
- If you like having a sauce on top, smooth some extra ketchup over the top of the uncooked meatloaf (this step is optional).
- Place in oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until meat is cooked all the way through.
- Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

I added 2 TBS. chopped green bell pepper to the meatloaf and used no topping as my family doesn't care for meatloaf topping. With chili powder and garlic the meatloaf was so flavorful that a topping wasn't needed. I will use this recipe again and again because I like a smaller meatloaf and my husband loves it.

I believe this is my all-time favorite meat loaf recipe! It is so versatile. One can vary the seasonings depending upon your whim. The oats are a better carb choice than using breadcrumbs. They also add to the protein level and give the dish extra moistness. You can use any sort of ground meat you wish to use. I usually double it and make it in individual mini loaves and spread extra ketchup on top of each loaf. Raincloud, this is the best!! Thank you!!

This is great. It's nice having a meatloaf recipe that only needs 1 lb of meat. It's so quick and easy too. I've actually made this a few times before, but this is the first time I've actually had onion to use instead of onion powder, it's an interesting texture. The only changes I made were to substitute cayenne for the chili powder to make it spicy, and I added some shredded cheese on top at the end. Tasty!
