• 1 Lb. Ground Beef-leaner variety preferable
• 2/3 Cup Oatmeal-uncooked, quick or old fashioned variety, not instant
• 3 Egg Whites-lightly beaten
• ¾ Cup Ketchup
• 2 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 Cup Onion-finely chopped, sauteed in 2 tsp. Vegetable oil until clear, cooled
• Salt and Black Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix with gloved hands until combined very well. To test the seasoning, make a very small and thin patty and fry until done and taste.

Form into your favorite loaf pan, or freeform into a rectangular shape on a cookie sheet. Bake for about 45 minutes (depending on shape) until the center reads 155 degrees. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite vegetables of the season and enjoy!

Serves four.
