Lita's Meatloaf

1 lb ground beef
2 cups of Quaker Oats
3 eggs
1/2 cup of spicy brown mustard
1/2 cup of ketchup
1/4 cup of soy sauce
1/2 cup of chopped onion or 2-3 shakes of onion powder
2 shakes of chili powder (optional)
3-4 shakes of garlic powder or a handful of dried garlic chips
2 large celery stalks chopped (optional)

Preheat oven at 350. Prep all vegetables. Set aside. In a small mixing combine eggs, mustard, ketchup, soy sauce, and spices until well blended. Put meat in a larger mixing bowl (make sure meat is all the way thawed). Using a wooden spoon, combine meat with oats and vegetables; then add in sauce. Make sure everything is combined thoroughly and evenly.

In a sprayed loaf pan, place meatloaf mix. Add extra ketchup to the top if desired. Place in oven for 35-40 minutes, or until loaf is cooked all the way through.

Tips: This is great for meatloaf sandwiches the next day! This recipe also goes well with mashed potatoes, macaroni salad, or potato salad. One thing about my cooking, as I've mentioned before, is that I don't normally measure when I cook so feel free to adjust the measurements as needed!
