I got this exact recipe from Quaker Oatmeal many many years ago. Only one I have ever used.

Thank you so much for this recipe. This was the recipe my husband’s mother used and she taught me how to do it. The only thing she did different was place her loaf pan in a pan of water and she put ketchup on top while baking. I added green pepper with the onion and make a sauce of ketchup, mustard and brown sugar. Take out about ten minutes before baking is finished and put sauce on and put back in oven and bake for ten minutes or according to your oven temperature. I have been making this meat loaf for 50 years and never bring any home from a pot luck. My mother-in-law did not have the recipe on paper. She just told me the ingredients. Now I have a recipe to share when people ask for it. I don’t have to say I can tell you the ingredients but don’t have the recipe. My daughter makes it and she adds a little worcestershire sauce, steak sauce and sometimes barbecue for more flavor. It is a versatile recipe that can be altered to your family’s taste.
