Meatloaf Recipe
Author: Jackie @ Blessings Overflowing
Ingredients
  • 2 lbs. Ground Beef
  • 3 Eggs
  • ¾ Cup Tomato Juice or 1 Cup Ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp. Sage
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. Dried Onion Flakes
  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp. Pepper
  • ½ tsp Celery Salt
  • 1 Cup Oatmeal or Bread Crumbs or Crushed Crackers
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix ground beef and oatmeal (or bread/crackers) in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl mix all other ingredients together with a fork or whisk.
  4. Add this mixture to the ground beef mixture.
  5. Stir well or use hands to incorporate all ingredients.
  6. Form into a loaf shape and place in a roasting pan (lined with foil for ease of clean-up) and put the lid on.
  7. Bake in 350 degree oven for ½ hour.
  8. Take pan out of oven and add cut up and peeled potatoes, carrots and onions.
  9. A little water added at this step will help the vegetables be tender.
  10. Pour a little ketchup or Country Bob's on the top.
  11. Put the lid back on and bake for another hour, or until everything is cooked.
  12. Take the lid off for just a few minutes to brown the top of the meatloaf.
Notes
When I use oats I grind them in my blender first and they are just like bread crumbs then. Using gluten-free oats will make this recipe gluten-free.

Recently, I have been using a broiler pan to bake the meatloaf with no vegetables. This allows the grease to not sit in the pan with the meatloaf.
