2 lbs. ground beef
3/4 cup uncooked regular oats
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
Mix first nine ingredients in a large bowl; stir well. Form into a loaf and place in a loaf pan if you desire. I, myself like to cook mine on a cookie sheet. Then mix 1/2 cup ketchup, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon horseradish and mustard in a smaller bowl; make sure to stir it well. Spoon half of this sauce over the top of the meat loaf. Bake uncovered for about an hour and 15 minutes. Then spoon the remaining sauce over the top of the meat loaf and cook an additional 10 minutes.
I found this recipe in a Southern Cooking cookbook that I have also borrowed from the library. First of all I must say, that I could not, for the life of me find any horseradish at our local grocery store, so I made this with horseradish sauce which is a bit mellower in taste. Also, I used a half of an onion, because a whole onion, in my opinion, would have overpowered the other flavors in the meat loaf. This was definitely a success for me because everyone finished it and my husband said that it was the best meat loaf he had ever had. :) So, I was very happy that something I enjoy doing also has rewards not only for myself, but others too.
Okay, so the new season of Hell's Kitchen started tonight. I love that show and the new Master Chef show; they are great. Chef Ramsay is someone who I look up to in the cooking world and it must be a great honor to be a part of his restaurants, as well as getting to learn firsthand from him on Hell's Kitchen. I would love that opportunity. Well, I have to work in the morning, so this is all that I had for today. Goodnight to all. There's more to come tomorrow.
