LI'L CHEDDAR MEAT LOAVES
INGREDIENTS:
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 cup (4 ozs.) shredded sharp
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 pound lean ground beef (venison works very well too)
2/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed brown sugar (see note below) or reduce to 1/8 cup
1 1/2 tablespoons prepared mustard 1/2 teaspoon fresh
ground black pepper if using venison (to taste)
In a bowl, beat the egg and milk. Stir in cheese, oats, onion and
salt. Add beef and mix well. Shape into eight loaves; placed in a
greased 13-inch x 9-inch x 2-inch baking dish. Combine ketchup, brown
sugar and mustard; spoon over loaves. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees
for 45 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer
reads at least 160 degrees.
YIELD: 8 servings.
Note: The sauce is too sweet for my taste, therefore reduced the
brown sugar to 1/8 cup or less and original recipe had 1 1/2 teaspoons of
prepared mustard but increased the amount to tablespoons. This recipe
was originally published in Taste of Home if I not mistaken. |
