Old-Fashioned Skillet Meatloaf

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef 80/20 or 85/15
  • 1½ cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Topping

  • ⅓ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl whisk the eggs. Add the onion, salt, pepper, ketchup (save the topping ketchup for later) 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).
  • 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. Toward the end of baking, mix the ingredients for the topping. Remove from oven, spread on the topping and bake for 25 more minutes or until the center reaches 160 degrees.
  • Let the meatloaf rest about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Mix by hand: Your hands are the best tool for mixing meatloaf. Mix just until combined so it stays tender.
Check the temperature: It’s done when the center reaches 160°F.
Let it rest: Rest it for 10 minutes before slicing so the slices hold together.
Storage: Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
