Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. ground chuck
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp. quick cooking oats
  • 1/4 cup minced onion
  • 8 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves
  • 1/4 tsp. dried marjoram leaves
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic salt
  • dash white pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp. prepared mustard

Preparation:

Combine meat, eggs, oats, onion, half the tomato sauce, thyme, marjoram, garlic salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Gently shape into a 8x4" loaf . Place into a 9x5" glass loaf pan, making sure the meat mixture doesn't touch the sides of the pan. Cover pan with microwave safe waxed paper. Microwave at high power for 5 minutes, then carefully pour off juices.

Combine brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and mustard with remaining tomato sauce. Spoon this mixture over the meat loaf, making sure to evenly coat top and sides. Return pan to oven, rotating one half turn. Cover pan with microwave safe waxed paper and cook at 30% for 17 to 20 minutes or until an instant read meat thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf registers 170 degres. Cover with foil and let stand 5 minutes on a solid surface before serving. (The temperature of the meat loaf will rise about 10 degrees during standing time.) 6 servings
