This is the original recipe off the Quaker Oats box I believe. It's been in existence since the 50s or early 60s, I grew up on it (kinda amazes me it's finally a "diet" food), and I've never been able to eat meatloaf any other way:
1 1/2 # ground beef** 3/4 c. oatmeal 1/4 c. chopped onion 1 1/2 tsp salt* 1/4 tsp pepper 1 c. tomato sauce 1 egg
*This amount of salt seems like a lot to my low sodium eyes, especially if you don't use unsalted tomato sauce, so I'd suggest reducing to 1 tsp.
** Must be at least 93% FF to make it core of course.
Mix it up with your hands (no other way to do it right), and bake 350 degrees for 1 hour, 15 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting/serving.

I made this last weekend, doctored up some (just added things I thought might make it a little spicer--lea & perrins, some red pepper, garlic don't remember what else). But I also made it with half ground turkey breast. It was great.

This sounds great. Thank you for posting. This is something my DH and I can both eat. No cooking 2 different meals.

I made this recipe as meatloaf muffins this weekend using 96% lean ground beef and it was wonderful! I'm going to make up another batch to put in the freezer. Thanks for the recipe!

Oh, WOW. This was unbelievably good -- so moist!
I jazzed it up a little with a clove of minced garlic and replacing a homemade Core sauce for the tomato sauce. Then after it had cooked for an hour, I spread an extra 1/2 cup of the sauce over the top and cooked it for another 10 minutes.

Try adding 1 grated carrot to it. It keeps it more moist. We always make it in a loaf pan because DH loves to slice it for cold meatloaf sandwiches for lunch the next day. Lynda

I've never tried the muffin pan method before. I guess the cooking time would be more like 45 mins to an hour ? Also - use nonstick spray on the muffin pan or not?
