MEATLOAF - Helen Sullivan McIntyre

Helen made meatloaf often.  It was a meal the family liked.  This recipe, she called "Prize Winning" meat loaf.  Not sure how it got the name.

  • 1 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 3/4 cup oats (uncooked)
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion (or 1 tblsp dry minced onion)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup tomato juice or small 8 oz Hunt's tomato sauce
  • 1 egg, beaten

Combine all ingredients thoroughly. Pack firmly into 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch loaf pan, ungreased.  Bake in a preheated, moderate oven (350 degrees) 1 hour and 15 minutes.  Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

For hamburgers - omit egg and reduce tomato juice to 1/2 cup.  Makes 8 patties.
