MOM'S FAMOUS MEATLOAF 
MEATLOAF:

1 1/2 lb. hamburger (lean-extra lean)
1 c. oatmeal
2/3 c. milk or less
2 eggs
1/2 c. onions (optional)
3/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

SAUCE:

3 tbsp. brown sugar
1/4 c. ketchup
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. sage

Mix meatloaf ingredients together in separate bowl (by hand works best). Mix sauce ingredients together; spoon works great. Make sure lumps are out and you double the sauce. Pour 1/2 to 3/4 of sauce into meatloaf and mix well. Put meatloaf into 9x5 inch loaf pan and pour remaining sauce on top. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

I love this meatloaf... I have been trying to duplicate my grandmother's meatloaf for years and this is the closest thing! I think the sage was the ingredient that gave it the exact flavor I was looking for... The sauce is confusing (doubling it) but I did double it and it could use a bit more (but not much)... I use chili sauce in place of katsup and it tastes great! My granddaughter loves it and wants the recipe! Thank you. I also double the ingredients and bake it in a large rectangle clear Pyrex baking dish (of course that means I make 4X the sauce) I double it cause everyone loves it and it is gone!

I printed this recipe out in July of 08 and have been using it ever since. I looked today to see if it was still available as my recipe card is very soiled and marked up from using it so much. It is very good and easy to make. I make the meatloaf in a muffin tin, freeze them and then have a quick meal ready at any time. The only thing I do differently is to use only 1/3 c. milk and yes you really do need to double the recipe. Try it, it is the best I have ever made.

This recipe turned out great! My husband is super picky and he loved it. I will probably put a little less brown sugar next time as it was pretty sweet. Otherwise make sure to double the sauce!! Great!!
