Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease a loaf pan.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, oatmeal or breadcrumbs, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and your choice of any optional ingredients. Mix everything together until well combined. You can use your hands for this, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
- Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf shape, smoothing the top with a spatula or your hands.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the top is nicely browned. You can test for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the center of the loaf; it should register at least 160°F.
- Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes for easier slicing. Serve slices of meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.
- Optional Topping: If you like, you can spread some additional ketchup or special sauce over the top of the meatloaf for added flavor.
- Enjoy: Enjoy your homemade Meatloaf with oatmeal!
