Meat-loaf-Elise's

Meat-loaf

Preheat oven to 375

In a large bowl mix together:

2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 packets (.98 oz. each) instant oatmeal, regular flavor (or 3/4 cup quick oats)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup low-fat milk
2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. salt

Divide mixture into 8 equal servings and shape into mini loaves. Put the loaves in a 9 x 13" baking pan

In a small separate bowl prepare the glaze
Mix 1/3 cup ketchup and 3 Tbs light-brown sugar. (I always put in more brown sugar than it says)

Brush glaze onto the sides and top of the meat loaves.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 160F when inserted into the center of the loaves. Let cool 10 minutes.

If you aren't going to serve all eight servings, you can freeze the extra ones. Cool the meat loaves and then individually wrap the loaves in plastic wrap or waxed paper and freeze. To reheat put the frozen meat loaves in the refrigerator overnight. Unwrap and bake 15 minutes @ 350 or microwave until heated through.
