1 lb. ground beef
1 c. (1/2 pt.) cottage cheese
1 egg
1/2 c. quick cooking oatmeal
1/4 c. catsup
1 tbsp. prepared mustard
2 tbsp. chopped onion
3/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese

Combine the ground beef with the cottage cheese, egg, oats, catsup, mustard, onion, salt and pepper. Mix the ingredients lightly until well blended. Press the mixture loosely into a shallow baking pan (about 8 inches square).

Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and continue to bake for 10 minutes longer. Let stand for about 5 minutes before cutting in squares to serve.
