GRANDMA'S FAMOUS MEATLOAF WITH SALTINES
This is the recipe my grandmother used to make her meatloaf. Most notably it doesn't have any sort of sauce coating the top as is called for in many meatloaf recipes. My family enjoys it this way but I'm relatively certain that any standard meatloaf sauce would do if you want one.

Steps:

- Form mixture into a loaf shape.
- Put in a baking dish (I use a pie plate).
- Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
- NOTE: I always put a little water in my pan. I've never done it any other way, so I don't know what would result if you don't.

GRANDMA'S MEATLOAF WITH OATS
Grandma's meatloaf recipe was the best I have ever tried to make. My previous attempts to create a healthy, yet good tasting meatloaf recipe failed repeatedly because each attempt resulted in a dry loaf. Not so with Grandma's recipe! I added more seasonings and scaled her recipe up a bit so 2 full pounds of beef can be used and a whole can of tomato sauce (instead of a partial can). Plus beef is usually sold in 1-pound packages, so assembly time is reduced.
