1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 cup tomato juice
3 cups Quaker oats (quick cooking)
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients. Mix lightly, press into a 8 X 4 inch loaf pan.

Bake 1 hour or until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear, drain and let stand 5 minutes before serving. It can also be cooked in other pans, whatever you prefer.
