Michelle’s Meatloaf

This started as a simple recipe cut from a box of Quaker Oats. The Doctor has made a couple of changes, all for the better.

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. Combine well in a large bowl:
   • 1 lb. ground beef (preferably ground chuck)
   • ½ lb. ground pork
   • ¾ c. uncooked oats
   • 1 egg, beaten
   • ¼ c. chopped onion
   • 1 c. salsa (look for something gluten free to make your friends happy)
   • 1 tsp salt
   • ¼ tsp ground pepper
3. Press into a standard 8x4x2 loaf pan (ungreased)
4. Top with the rest of the salsa (½ - 1 cup by measure (be careful; some salsas are jarred by weight instead of by volume))
   If you want a more BBQesque topping, mix the remainder of your salsa with ¼-½ c. brown sugar before spreading on top of the loaf.
5. Bake at 350ºF for about one hour.
6. Let stand/rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Enjoy!
