Mavis's Famous Meatloaf


Tasty Tuesday came and went last week. oops! Check out Lindsay's other tasty tuesday recipes. This week i was thinking of comfort food and food for cold weather. burrrr...... It's coming for those of us up north :) This recipe is one that i learned in Jr. High when my mom went back to work and i had to make suppers. She, of course, doesn't seem to remember this the same way but .... i know it's a winner. I bake it for church dinners too. I do take liberties and add more or less of the amounts to specific tastes. Enjoy.

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 egg
1 envelope lipton onion soup mix
3/4 c - 1 c oatmeal (quick or regular)
