GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F, rack in the middle. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray. In a large bowl add the oats and milk and gently mix. Set aside for 15 minutes to allow the oats to soak in the milk.
• After 15 minutes strain out the milk into a separate container but do not discard. *If there is no milk left, it's OK. Some brands of oats suck up all the milk while others do not.
• In the bowl the oats are in, add the ground beef, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning, garlic, onions, ketchup, and 3 tablespoon of tomato soup.
• Just combine but try not to overwork it as it will get tough. If the mixture is too wet, add in 1-2 more tablespoon of oats (don't worry if they aren't soaked). If too dry, add in the milk 1-2 tablespoon at a time. If you have no milk left as your oats sucked it all up just add more milk or water. You want the mixture to be pretty moist but firm enough to hold a shape.
• In the bowl gently press together.
• Transfer the mixture to the baking sheet and using your hands, form a loaf that is about 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and about 2 1/2 inches tall. The loaf should be smooth and have rounded edges. This will help the loaf stay together when serving.
• Bake for 30 minutes, remove from the oven, and spread the remaining tomato soup on top of the meatloaf.
• Continue baking for another 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

GRANDMA BARB'S MEATLOAF RECIPE (THE BEST MEATLOAF)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
• Add onions, peppers and celery and saute until tender.
• Add garlic and cook just until fragrant.
• Remove from heat and let cool. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, add breadcrumbs and just enough milk to moisten the crumbs.
• Add remaining ingredients, except for the beef.
• Mix these ingredients well.
• Add the beef. Use your hands to mix it in. Don't be alarmed if the mixture seems a bit too wet at first. Handle the beef as little and as gently as possible to prevent it from becoming tough when baked. Mix JUST until everything is combined.
• Optional: Fry a tiny piece of the mixture to check the taste and adjust the seasonings if desired.
• When all of the ingredients are well combined, spoon the mixture into a loaf pan and smooth to an even layer. Set aside.
• To make the glaze, combine all glaze ingredients and spread half on top of meatloaf.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes and then top with remaining glaze. ( you don't have to use all of the glaze. You can save some to use when serving the meatloaf of desired)
• Continue baking for another 30-35 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160 F. or to your desired (safe) doneness. ( I like to flip the oven to broil for the last few minutes to get the glaze a bit sticky but watch it carefully if you decide to do this)
• Remove from oven, drain off the fat and let meatloaf rest before slicing. (If meatloaf is steaming hot when you cut into it, it will fall apart)
