Ingredients

  • 2 lbs lean ground beef
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup barbecue sauce, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F; lightly grease a 9x5 loaf pan and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except for optional barbecue sauce (it really is easiest to use your hands).
  3. Pack into prepared loaf pan, and spread barbecue sauce over top (ketchup can be substituted for barbecue sauce, or you can just omit it).
  4. Bake until cooked through, at least one hour (I like to do it for 1 hr 15 mins, and it can even go as long as 90 minutes).
  5. Drain off fat in pan, let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into slices and serve.
