A spicy red glaze bakes on top of this well-seasoned beef mixture.
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2/3 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 eggs
1 teaspoon Worcestershire
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup catsup
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, rolled oats, milk, salt,
pepper, poultry seasoning, eggs, Worcestershire, and onion. Put in a loaf
pan (about 5 by 9 inches). Set aside while you prepare the glaze.
In a measuring cup, combine the catsup, brown sugar, mustard, and nutmeg.
Spread evenly over the meat loaf. Bake, uncovered, in a 350° oven for about
1 hour and 15 minutes.
