¾ cup quick or old-fashioned oats, uncooked

½ cup sliced green onions, divided
1 egg, beaten lightly
½-1 teaspoon salt, to taste

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, combine ground beef, oats, 2/3 cup chili, egg, ¼ cup green onions, salt and pepper. Mix lightly but thoroughly. Gently press meatloaf mixture evenly into 9-inch round metal baking pan. Bake in preheated oven 45-50 minutes or until center of meatloaf registers 160 degrees on instant-read thermometer. Meanwhile, place remaining chili in microwave-safe bowl. Cover and heat on "High" for about 2 minutes. Drain off any juices from meatloaf. Top with hot chili and sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese has melted. Let meatloaf stand 5 minutes before cutting. Top with remaining ¼ cup green onions. To serve, cut meatloaf into 8 wedges.
