3 lb. ground beef
1 1/2 c. rolled oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped green pepper
1 c. grated sharp Cheddar cheese
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 eggs
2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce
4 slices American sliced cheese

Pack into 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours. Let stand 5 minutes. If desired, remove to shallow pan and place cheese star cutouts on top. Return to 400 degree oven for a few minutes to melt and brown.

Italian bread crumbs are good to use, too!
