Basically Best MeatLoaf

All meatloaves are not created equal!
As a kid, I didn't care for steak; to me, it had the texture of cardboard. 
Anything made from ground beef, well, that was a different story. 
I am still not a big meat-eater, but to this day I like pretty much anything made with ground beef.

2 lbs ground beef

1 egg

1 c milk

½ c onion, finely chopped

¼ c parsley, finely chopped

1½ tsp salt (I don’t put that much, just a good sprinkling of it)

1½ c rolled oats OR 2 c soft breadcrumbs

¼ tsp oregano (or thyme)

½ tsp chopped garlic

Beat egg and add milk.

Add remaining ingredients and mix well.

Form into loaf and place in shallow baking pan.

Place a few cloves and bay leaf on top.

Bake at 350F for 1½ hours.

You can use a cup of tomato juice in place of the milk in this recipe, but I prefer the meat loaf made with milk.
