- Finely chop the remaining onion.
- In a large bowl combine the ground meat, oat mixture, chopped onion, bell pepper, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup,garlic powder, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix just until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and shape into a loaf about 5 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches high.

- Bake for about 1 hour or until no longer pink inside.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing (it will not be a very firm meatloaf); the height be very low and your slices will be in long rectangular strips.
