Easy, FLAVORFUL Meatloaf Recipe with OATMEAL

ground beef

Oats add fiber, while crushed crackers can be more economical.

ketchup

🥗Healthier: tomato puree

💰Cheaper: homemade sauce

Tomato puree has no added sugars, and homemade sauce can be made at a lower cost.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: applesauce

Flaxseed meal is a vegan option, while applesauce adds moisture and sweetness.

Pre-heat oven to 350° F, and grease a 13”x9” baking dish.

Add all of the ingredients, including the ground beef, eggs, minced onion, ketchup, bbq sauce, oatmeal, and seasoned salt, to a large mixing bowl. Mix well using a large fork; or you can just use your hands.

Once everything’s been mixed together well, transfer the meat mixture to the baking dish, and shape it into a loaf.

Squirt ketchup all over the top of the meatloaf.

Bake the meatloaf for about an hour, longer if needed. A meat thermometer is definitely something I recommend to make sure the meat has come to temp and is fully cooked.

When it’s fully cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven; and serve it with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes and green beans.
