1 1/2 lb. ground beef (lean to extra lean)
1 cup oatmeal
2/3 cup milk (or less)
2 eggs
1/2 cup onions (optional)
3/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

SAUCE:

3 tbsp. brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup (Hunts)
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. sage

Preheat oven to 350°F.

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 mixture and mix well. Put meatloaf into 9x5-inch loaf pan and pour remaining sauce on top.

Bake 1 hour at 350°F. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
