7 Classic Meatloaf Serves: 6 Cooking Time: 55 min Ingredients 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey 3/4 cup oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked) 3/4 cup finely chopped onion 1/2 cup catsup 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Instructions Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine all ingredients in large bowl; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape meatloaf mixture into 6 x 10-inch loaf on rack of broiler pan. Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until meatloaf is to medium doneness (160 degrees F for beef, 170 degrees F for turkey), until not pink in center and juices show no pink color. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Cover and refrigerate leftovers promptly and use within 2 days, or wrap airtight and freeze up to 3 months. Good Advice 1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. 2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. 3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a woman...neither works. 4. Never miss a good chance to shut up. 5. Always drink upstream from the herd. 6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. 7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket. 8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves. 9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. 10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there. 11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back. 12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut
