Simply Meatloaf ~ 3 Ways

Ingredients:

Meatloaf Base
1 1/2 lb. lean hamburger (the leaner the better)
1/2 c. quick-cook oatmeal
1/2 c. minced onion
2 eggs
2/3 c. milk
salt and pepper to taste
1 c. shredded cheese of choice

Cheeses:
American style ~ Cheddar
Italian style ~ Italian cheese blend
Mexican style ~ Mexican cheese blend


Directions:

I usually saute the onion a little butter. Beat eggs into the milk. Add in hamburger, onions, oats, seasonings, and cheese of choice. Combine, but mix lightly ~ if mixed too much, the loaves get too dense. Spray a 9x13 Pyrex with cooking spray. Form mixture into 8 individual loaves. Spoon desired topping over and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.

Topping:
American style ~ (Mix together 2/3 c. ketchup, 1/2 c. brown sugar, 1 1/2 t mustard)
Italian style ~ Favorite jarred spaghetti sauce
Mexican style ~ Picante sauce or queso

For American style, I usually serve mac-n-cheese and green beans to complete the meal.
For Italian style, tri-colored or regular rotini would be a great side with the remaining spaghetti sauce. A salad would round things out.
For Mexican style, Mexican-flavored rice and mixed vegetables would add great color.
