2 lbs lean ground beef
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup barbecue sauce, optional

1
Preheat oven to 350F; lightly grease a 9x5 loaf pan and set aside.
2
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except for optional barbecue sauce (it really is easiest to use your hands).
3
Pack into prepared loaf pan, and spread barbecue sauce over top (ketchup can be substituted for barbecue sauce, or you can just omit it).
4
Bake until cooked through, at least one hour (I like to do it for 1 hr 15 mins, and it can even go as long as 90 minutes).
5
Drain off fat in pan, let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into slices and serve.
