Developed in the Quaker® Kitchens in the 1950s, Prize-Winning Meatloaf remains one of our 'most requested' recipes. Using oats in place of bread crumbs gives this meatloaf a moist texture and adds a nutrition boost of B vitamins, protein, and fiber.

- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 cup tomato juice or tomato sauce
- 3/4 cup Quaker® Oats (Quick or Old Fashioned, uncooked)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten

- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
