2 lbs. ground beef
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 onion, chopped fine
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. ketchup
1 c. quick oatmeal
1/2 c. ketchup or tomato juice
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. seasoning salt

Mix all ingredients except for 1/4 cup ketchup in a large bowl. Press into a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan; or shape into a loaf on a bake and serve platter. Spread remaining 1/4 cup ketchup over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Allow to sit 5 minutes before slicing. Serves 8.

This can easily be doubled. If doubled, use a 9 x 13 x 2 inch pan and shape into a loaf, leaving 1 inch around side of loaf. I add 1 to 2 cups water so grease doesn't soak back into meat loaf. After loaf is cooked, you can dump grease off easier with the water around sides and the meat loaf doesn't taste so greasy.
