Meatloaf Using Oatmeal
Making a meatloaf using oatmeal requires a few different steps but you can skip the breadcrumbs in this family friendly recipe.
Equipment
- 9 inch loaf pan
Ingredients
- 2 pound ground beef 85/15
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3/4 cup quick oats
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Topping
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
Instructions
- First, dice up the onions and cook the onions and the garlic. Cook them until they are withered, fragrant and you have the brown bits on them. Be sure to season with salt and pepper and right before you turn them off toss in the chopped parsley and thyme to cook for about 10 seconds. Remove from heat and allow this to cool.
- In a large bow, add in the ground beef, seasonings, oatmeal, buttermilk, beaten eggs, and the cooked veggies. Mix everything together until evenly combined. Cover the bowl and allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Line a loaf pan then place the meat mixture into the loaf pan and pat it down. Place into the oven for 45 minutes.
- After that time, remove then check the internal temperature, after that add the ketchup topping. Then, put the pan back into the oven for 20-30 minutes. The time will depend on how done the meatloaf is when you remove it at 45 minutes. A meat thermometer is your best friend here. I like to remove my meatloafs around 145℉ but you can take it up to 160℉.
- Lastly, when finished cooking allow the meatloaf to rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
