Bell Buckle Cafe Meat Loaf

• servings: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef

1 egg

1/4 cup oatmeal

1 small onion, diced

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons ketchup

3 teaspoons Country Magic, or salt and pepper

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Mix together the beef, egg, oatmeal, half of the onion, 2 tablespoons of the ketchup, and 2 teaspoons of the Country Magic in large bowl. Transfer the mixture to a 9 by 13-inch loaf pan and smooth the top so that it is even. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour.

Meanwhile, combine the remaining 2 cups of ketchup, the brown sugar, the remaining onion, Worcestershire, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of Country Magic in a bowl and stir to combine thoroughly.

Uncover and drain off any liquid that has accumulated. Spread the topping over the meat loaf and bake, uncovered, 15 minutes more.

Notes

Dolly says: "Everybody in the Tennessee town of Bell Buckle knows and loves this legendary meat loaf. And they wouldn't think of eatin' it without mashed potatoes, green peas, whole-kernel corn, and a piece of cornbrea. And then there's the sweet tea to wash it all down."
