Classic Cast Iron Meatloaf

2 lbs. ground beef

1 lbs. ground pork

1/2 cup quick oats

1/2 cup cracker crumbs

1/2 cup onion, chopped

2 eggs

3/4 cup milk

1 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Water

1 cup ketchup/ barbecue sauce if desired

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine all the above ingredients, except for the water and ketchup, and mix together until well blended. Be careful not to handle the meat mixture to much. Shape into a round bun and place in the cast iron skillet. Pour water half way up in the skillet. Bake in the oven for 1 hour or until meatloaf is done. Spoon ketchup over the meatloaf and return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
