  I will use the 85% ground beef. If anyone doesn't like to cook in a pool of grease, like myself, just cover a wire rack with foil, poke holes in it and set on a sheet pan. Make a free-form loaf and place on the foil. As it bakes, the grease and jucies drain through to the sheet pan. This is a good recipe, made it for our supper this evening. I want the fat in the ground beef. Thats where the flavor is. If it's cooked right there won't be any grease.

  I will only use 7 % fat ground beef for a meat loaf..... other wise, eeeck. And in my opinion, that is just way too much salt. Try real onions instead. and TWO eggs per pound of meat or egg beaters or egg whites if you are concerned and if you are concerned, you should not be eating ground anything with more than 7% of fat in it.

  Sounds a lot like my Mom's except she used one 8 oz can tomato sauce, bell pepper, and real onions instead of onion soup and salsa.

  Just like I do it - yumalicious!!! For those of you who doubt the oats instead of bread crumbs - just try it once - you'll be pleasantly surprised. Love these comfort foods.

  My mom has always used oats in her meatloaf instead of bread crumbs and it has come out great for the 56 years I've been eating it!
  Plus a little milk, some ketchup, onion, salt and pepper.
  My addition is to top the loaf with bottled chili sauce - much better than ketchup on top. YUM!
  The 85% means the meat is 85% lean, or only 15 % fat. That is a better grade than standard hamburger which is much more fat.

  The 85% means 85% LEAN; you can call it ground beef or call it hamburger. The % refers to fat content; this could also be stated as 15% fat.
