Corn-Topped Meat Loaf Recipe

In a small bowl, combine the egg, tomato juice, oats, onion, salt, chili powder and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Pat into an ungreased 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour and salt until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in corn and cheese until cheese is melted. Pour over meat loaf; top with green pepper strips. Bake 20-25 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160°. Yield: 2 servings.
