Meatloaf with Whole grains

Adding whole grains as a meat extender has many benefits!  It adds nutrition and reduces cost.  It also doubles the # of loaves you can make.   Lindsey Scarber

2 lbs. raw ground beef
2 c. dry quick oats
1 c.  cooked cracked wheat (use blender to crack the dry wheat, then cook it in a pot)
4  eggs
4 t. beef or chicken bullion
2  t.  salt
1/2 t. pepper
Some finely diced onion and bell pepper
Some diced celery
1/4  c.  ketchup
2 T. Worcestershire sauce


Preheat oven to 375.  Wash hands. Mix and squish all ingredients together.  Place in loaf pans. Decorate the top with ketchup swirlys. Bake uncovered for 1 hour and 15 min or when middle is no longer pink.  Let stand 15 min before cutting and serving.
