Sweet and Savory Meatloaf...

When I was asked to share a recipe with my readers that relates to my farming background, I knew it had to include beef.  I was raised on a dairy and grain farm.  For several years we also had hogs.  Now we live on a beef and grain farm.  

Growing up, we were definitely a meat and potato kind of family.  I am now passing on my love for meat and potatoes to my girls.  I think it may be one of the main reasons Brad fell in love with me.  When we go to a restaurant, I'm not scared to order a steak or a big ole cheeseburger!

One of the ultimate comfort meals for me is meatloaf, mashed potatoes and carrots.  It's pretty easy to make and you have a three course meal in a little over an hour.

Sweet and Savory Meatloaf

2 pounds ground beef

1 Cup oatmeal

2 eggs

1/4 Cup chopped onion

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 Tablespoon brown sugar

1 Cup ketchup

Mix all ingredients together.  (You may need to add a little more ketchup if it seems to dry, or more oatmeal if it seems to moist.) 

Form into a loaf and bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.

Enjoy!
