Oats And Bacon Meat Loaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs lean ground beef
3/4 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup diced yellow onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 eggs
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 slices bacon

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0.
Mix the beef, oats, onion, garlic, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Using your hands is the easiest and fastest way to mix.
Pack the beef mixture into a 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch loaf pan.
Cut the bacon slices into 4-inch pieces so they will fit on top of the meat loaf without hanging over.
Place the loaf pan on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160\u00b0.
