Meatloaf - Secret Ingredients

I made meatloaf for dinner tonight, and have gotten rave reviews from all. Basic recipe (this makes a TON of meatloaf, but I like to make extra; halve the recipe to to feed 5-6 people):

Loaf:
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground pork
1 lb. ground turkey
2 eggs
2 cups oatmeal
about 1 cup milk
1 small onion, diced
12 oz. cottage cheese (I used large curd, either would work)
3 tbsp. worstershire sauce (about, I think. I poured some in liberally)
Salt, pepper
------------
Pour oatmeal into bowl, pour enough milk into bowl to cover the oatmeal. Let soak for a half hour or more.

Mix all ingredients (including any milk that the oatmeal hasn't absorbed) together. Place in bread pan or other oblong pan (or two pans if necessary).

Topping:
Ketchup
Worstershire Sauce
Sweet Chili Sauce (if you can find it, if not, you can omit this)

I didn't measure these - I probably used about a cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup of worstershire sauce, and 1/3 cup of the sweet chili sauce. Mix together well, spread a nice layer over the meat.

Bake at 350 F for an hour to an hour and twenty minutes, until a meat thermometer registers 160 F or more.

This turned out really yummy and was nice and moist. Who knew?

Is this the same meatloaf that Scott had the opportunity to sample? :-)
