MY GRANDMOTHER'S MEAT LOAF RECIPE

This was a favorite recipe of my grandmother who passed away in the 1970s.

1 1/2 lb ground beef
3/4 c uncooked oats
1 beaten egg
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 c tomato juice
1/4 c chopped onion

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix together well, use hands to mix well. Mold mixture into a loaf in an ungreased baking pan. Spread top with ketchup, if desired. Bake about 1 hour. Let stand at least 5 minutes before slicing.
