Ma's Meat Loaf

- (OR 3/4 c oatmeal and 1 c milk)
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion, chopped (1/4 c)
- 1 T Worcestershire sauce
- 1-1/2 t salt
- 1/2 t dry mustard
- 1/4 t pepper
- 1/4 t ground sage
- 1 clove garlic, crushed

Notes
For a leaner option, prepare meatloaf as directed. Instead of placing in a pan, place a wire cooling rack on top of 9"x13" pan. Form the meatloaf into a very tight, firm loaf. Gently place on top of wire rack, making sure that the pan underneath is larger than the meatloaf. Do not press down too firmly once it is on the rack or it will start to fall through. Bake as directed. As it bakes, the fat will drip down and collect in the pan below.
Glaze
- 1/2 c ketchup
- 3 T brown sugar
- 2 t prepared mustard
- 1/4 t chili powder
Mix. Glaze as directed.
