Meatloaf Beatloaf

From Ashley

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 ribs celery, chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef or 1 pound lean ground beef and 1/2 pound ground pork
• 3/4 cup oats, quick or old-fashioned
• 1/4 cup chili sauce or ketchup (I always use ketchup)
  
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 3 tablespoons water or milk (I always use milk)
  

It doesn't have it in the original recipe but I add mustard and a little pepper

PREPARATION:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped celery and onion; cook, stirring, until tender, about 7 to 9 minutes. (i cook it until the onion is almost see through...that way its super soft)
In a large bowl, mix ground beef or beef and pork mixture, oats, chili sauce or ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, beaten egg, celery and onion mixture, and the water or milk. In a 13x9-inch baking pan, shape meat mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf. Bake at 375° for 1 hour. Using 2 spatulas, carefully move meat loaf to a serving plate and slice.
Serves 6 to 8.
