• 1/4 C + 2 Tbsp. low-fat or fat-free milk

• 1/4 C rolled oats

• 1 1/2 tsp. onion powder

• 1/2 tsp. salt

• 1 lb. lean ground beef

• 1 tsp. cornstarch

• 1 C tomato sauce

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, oats, onion powder, salt, and ground beef. Mix well, then shape into 4 loaves.

2. In a 10-inch skillet, brown the loaves on top and bottom, then drain off any grease, and return the loaves to the skillet. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and water, mixing until smooth. Pour over the loaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in the middle.
