Old Fashioned Skillet Meatloaf Recipe
I always remember my grandma cooking in cast iron skillets, and her old fashioned skillet meatloaf recipe made in her cast iron skillet was one of my favorite dishes.
To be honest, I don’t have a ton of experience cooking with cast iron. I picked up a few Lodge cast iron skillets from their outlet in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee (great products!) last year, and I’ve been making an effort to use cast iron more often.
Old Fashioned Skillet Meatloaf Recipe
This old fashioned skillet meatloaf is perfect for your 10″ cast iron skillet. It’s such a simple and classic meatloaf recipe. My whole family loves it when I make this for dinner. It’s such a warm and satisfying comfort food.
With so many great meatloaf recipes swirling around on the internet and in cookbooks, it can be hard to know which one to choose. Sometimes it’s good to stick to the tried and true recipes using ingredients that you know your family will love—like old fashioned oats and ketchup. Gotta love meatloaf with ketchup. What can I say, it just tastes GOOD!
Of course, if you don’t have a cast iron skillet, this recipe still works great in a bread pan!

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl whisk the eggs. Add the onion, salt, pepper, 1 cup ketchup and the Worcestershire sauce to the eggs stir until blended. Add the ground beef and the oats mix well using a wooden spoon or your hands ( I used my hands).
3. Dump mixture into a 10in. cast iron skillet, press to shape. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can follow the same instructions for a bread pan. Bake for one hour, remove from oven, spread on the topping and bake for 25 more minutes or until the center reaches 160 degrees.
Going to try this soon.
Congrats on going viral! :) This does look delicious!!
I saw the recipe on yahoo and I am going to try it. Thanks
You wanted to know where I saw this-it was on my yahoo news feed. Looks yummy! I never thought of fixing meatloaf in a cast iron skillet.
hello, i found the recipe on yahoo
I noticed that 1 cup of ketchup is listed in the ingredients and 1/3 cup is listed in the topping. I understand that the 1/3 cup is spread over the top after 1 hour of cooking but there is no mention of what to do with the 1 cup of ketchup. I assume the 1 cup is added to the meat mixture?
Sorry about that Jamie, yes, it goes in the mixture. All fixed now. :)
This sounds like a great recipe, but I have a question.
The ingredients list called for 1 cup of catsup, but the instructions never reference it. Should it be added when the onion, salt etc are added?
Thanks, David
Woops! you’re right about that. I fixed it in the recipe, thanks for letting me know! :)
I only have quick oats on hand. Can I use quick oats or do I have to use regular oats?
