Meat Loaf

This recipe is a no-brainer. My toddler could pull this one off. I love how it feeds 8 with a small amount of a cheap cut of meat. It has become one of my regulars.

1 lb ground beef
3/4 cup fine oatmeal
1 onion, finely chopped
1 1 cup tomato juice
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 t salt
1 t black pepper

Heat oven to 350F. Mix all the ingredients together and pack firmly into a standard loaf pan. Bake 1 hr, 15min. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.  Serve with a generous amount of ketchup. Serves 8.
