Herb Meatloaf

This is the meatloaf recipe that I was raised on when I was growing up.  If there are any leftovers, it makes a GREAT cold meatloaf sandwich.

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 c. oatmeal
1 t. salt
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 t. dried or minced onion flakes
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 t. pepper

Combine all ingredients.  Shape into one large meat loaf or 6 individual loaves.  (I use a bread loaf pan).  Spoon topping over the molded meat and bake in 350* oven for 1 hour.

Topping:
1/2 c. catsup
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 T. prepared mustard
1/2 t. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 t. butter flavoring

Combine ingredients and spoon over top of meat loaf.  Bake as directed.
