Homemade Meatloaf

 I made this for my husband Mike for Father's Day.  He's a meat-n-potatoes kinda guy, so he was diggin' it. :)  Next time, I'll make the potatoes from scratch, too.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Spicy -Hot- V8 (or tomato juice)
• 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup chopped onions
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• Seasoning to taste (I used Paymon's Athen's Fries Seasoning, but you can use oregano or any spice blend you think would go well with the beef.)
• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spritz an 8x4 inch loaf pan with non-stick olive oil spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the ground beef and blend thoroughly.
• Add the ground beef and mix thoroughly with your hands.
• Place mixture in the loaf pan.
• Bake for 60 minutes.
