Ingredients

• 2 pounds lean ground beef

• 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed French onion soup

• ½ cup fine dry bread crumbs

• ½ cup rolled oats

• 1 egg, lightly beaten

• 1 tablespoon dried parsley

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, condensed French onion soup, bread crumbs, rolled oats, beaten egg, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. Transfer the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan, pressing it down to form a loaf shape.

4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the meatloaf is no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160°F (70°C).

5. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
