The next couple of posts will highlight great liver recipes. Many people say they don't like liver. Well, maybe it is because of the way it was prepared, and the type and age of the liver. Our liver is from young animals so you don't have the strong flavor, plus it is more tender because of the age.
Enjoy the recipes and give the liver a try.

1-1/2 pounds Callicrate ground beef.
3/4 cup Quaker® Oats

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients in large bowl; mix lightly but thoroughly.

Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until meatloaf is to medium doneness (160°F for beef, until not pink in center and juices show no pink color.

As good as the meatloaf is, it would not be complete without the sauce. Mom formed the mixture into a loaf and placed it in the middle of a roast pan to cook. Twenty minutes before it was done, the grease/liquid was drained off. She then covered the meatloaf with 1/2 cup of grated onion, followed by 1 cup of (Heinz) ketchup mixed with 4T of brown sugar, 4T vinegar, 2T Worchestershire Sauce; heated mixed ingredients but did not boil.
