Summary

A nice way to add whole grains into protein dishes—such as meatloaf, hamburgers, and meatballs—is to use quick-cooking oats instead of regular bread crumbs. The fiber in the oats has been shown to help lower cholesterol.

Complete your Plate: For a classic "meat-and-potatoes" meal, pair with Mashed Red Potatoes. Add a Green Salad with Orange and Avocado for a balanced meal.

    I was hesitant about this recipe, but oh my gosh!!! It was so delicious. I don't know how to tell my mom that i will not be using her recipe anymore. The only change I made was switching orange and yellow bell peppers for green.LOVE IT

    This is a very good and tasty meatloaf. I was concerned that it would be dry but it was so moist. My husband loved it too, and this is definitely a keeper and is going into our meal rotation. My husband just suggested having it again tomorrow night. I highly recommend this recipe. So good.
