1 1/2 pounds ground beef or 1 pound ground beef and 1/2 pound ground pork or italian sausage
1 egg or 2 whites beaten
3/4 cup dry oatmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup tomato juice or v-8 juice
1/4 cup onion chopped
1/2 cup cubed cheddar or american cheese optional
fresh parsley to taste optional
1 large clove garlic minced optional


Recipe

Mix all ingredients lightly, make loaf shape and put on biscuit pan, or in meat loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour at 350?. Add topping 30 minutes before meat loaf is finished.

Topping
Mix one part mustard to 4 parts catsup, and then add brown sugar until thick enough to spread on top of meat loaf without it all running off. Can also add strips of cheese slices by making X's across the top.

Variations: If you don't have the brick of cheese, take 3 to 4 cheese slices, put them on top of each other and press together, cut strips and then cubes from the strips. Mix cheese in just before putting into a pan.
